@George ******
yes, youre correct and i agree with all your points completely. Live in one foreign country you get an uplift, in another, no uplift. Stupid. BUT, my point was to be careful as fraud against the UK government is very serious and if you get hundreds extra a month on an uplift youre not entitled to over 20 years thats a very large fraud and no excuses will be accepted. Youll be expexted to pay it bacj and large fine as a bare minimum and possible prison if you return to the UK. Thats my only point to warn people.

Yes. Nothing to do with bank accounts. If it goes to your UK account still no uplift if youre not a UK resident. May be harder for them to catch you if you dont declare youre not resident but if they do, thats Tax fraud which is very serious im afraid

Any Samsung duo ie dual sim as they can be repaired in the UK also unlike a lot of the thai manufactured phones. I went for the A04 which was only about 4000 but near new 2nd hand ones of that model are only about 2k on market place

Booths in big shopping centres will give you circa 43.3 right now but changes every few mins. Probably 41-42thb in tourist booths
