How can I keep my UK bank account while living in Thailand?

Phil ******

same all over the world and your account will be closed due to no activity. A friend of mine had to fly to Australia to reactivate his Australian bank account and he gave them the address I was using. Another friend had his thai account closed due to no activity during covid when he flew to Australia. Same thing he had to go back and reactivate it. I had an Australian account closed too and yes I had to reactivate it as well.

Moral of the story keep money going in and out
