Vist most years for 3 months, avoiding winter in the UK. Retired now and planning on staying long time. Probably in 2026. Will get the bank account when I'm back in January on a 90 day non-o visa and transfer the 400K (99% sure I'll go for a Marriage extension) over 2025 so avoiding any 180 day tax liability, if that ever becomes a thing.

@Tony ********

Many thanks. Already married, 24 years now.

Not exactly plain English but if tax free in UK then tax free in Thailand (and the other way)

Article 6

Limitation of Relief

Where under any provision of this Convention income arising in one of the Contracting

States is relieved from tax in that Contracting State and, under the law in force in the

other Contracting State a person, in respect of the said income, is subject to tax by

reference to the amount thereof which is remitted to or received in that other

Contracting State and not by reference to the full amount thereof, then the relief to be

allowed under this Convention in the first-mentioned Contracting State shall apply only

to so much of the income as is remitted to or received in the other Contracting State

Leaving the country for 181 days is a bit more than a short vacation ;)

Thanks all the replies I've looked up the UK-Thailand DTA. For any other UK citizens
