I have accounts with Halifax and NatWest. I told them both in branch about moving to Thailand and they were happy to give me advice. I use the Halifax mostly and their Mobile app makes it easy to change your smartphone to Thai number for one time passcodes when setting up new / large payments etc. The code texts come through to Thai number immediately. NatWest gave me a card reader to get passcodes for new payments etc. I use my sisters postal address for new cards etc.

Good point , I wouldn’t know sorry but I imagine that English is not commonly spoken. Just relaying what my friend has told me. I’ve never been and he does speak Thai and very accustomed to the culture so easier for him to settle. Just saying for him the visa situation is very simple and easy way of life.

I have a friend who lived in Thailand for 20 years. After splitting up with his Thai wife he found the visa situation difficult and now after spending six months in Cambodia he finds it preferable. A lot cheaper and more welcoming. It seems a lot less modern than Thailand but he’s really enjoying it

Have a look at “Tread The Globe” on YouTube. They are travelling the world and entered through Malaysia with a UK registered camper van about 5 shows back/2 weeks. Did the temporary import themselves and when I last saw the show were on their way to Bangkok to extend

You could try driving to uk via ferry,if you get turned around you’ve lost your ferry ticket.She’s going to be let back into Ireland as she has a visa. I took my Thai gf to Ireland from uk with uk visa , we got waved in by car both ways , didn’t need to get out of the car

I was 2 weeks late in Hua Hin . Went to local Immigration Office , dressed smart , was humble , waid and appologised.Said I realise Im in trouble and have to pay the fine.Immigration officer was very nice and said dont worry , no need to pay and gave me a new 90 day slip.

sorry, I didn’t read it properly.

You need to get a re-entry permit from immigration or airport. If you don’t your retirement visa will be cancelled and you have to start again and apply for a new retirement visa.
