Ive just watched you on replay its always good fun, i had my doubts about going to Thailand the last few days because of the volcano in iceland but it has calmed down now, i was caught up in the last one in 2010 etihad looked after us and put us up in a hotel for 1 night, i cant wait to get out there sun shorts and no coat, not long for you Ed it will soon come round cheers Ed.
Unsure if Charles Schwab is available in England, but if you have a Charles Schwab checking account with debit card you can use that card at any ATM and you will get reimbursed all ATM fees accrued each month, with no limit. I have used mine the past 3 years in Thailand and Cambodia with zero problems. Always have gotten reimbursed every penny, every month.
Hope your move goes well, Ed. Like you, I've always hated the cold in UK. I moved to Pattaya in September (hence why I couldn't tune in live). Only one regret… should've done it years ago.
All you need is a Thai bank account and you just transfer from wise to it , can’t believe how people try to complicate it all. TT are offering 44.20 today, after the charge you get 44.30 into your Thai bank account with Wise with no ATM fee Agency I used charge 3700 baht to open a Bank account ,600b goes into the account which you can withdraw straight away, 2600b for accident insurance (30000b cover),300 set up cost ,200b for the atm card .
UK state (national) pension is £224.15 per week (US$1,175 per month) from April 2024, and index-linked if sent to the Philippines, USA, Europe or UK dependencies. Both PI & Colombia peg their income for foreign retirees at around $800 per month. The PI's SRRV scheme also requires $10,000 on deposit ($1,500 for veterans).
I'm based in Thailand at the moment so not always easy to catch the livestreams when on in realtime, if you get a chance before you go, try to open Revolut account and order up about 3 or 4 cards (can have up to 6 on the same account), as far as I know, you need to order initial card to your home address but additional cards can be delivered to your overseas address. Wise definitely also worth getting. Also one worth checking but I have no experience with is CityBank, seemingly they don't charge ATM fees in countries where they have branches but I'm open to correction on this one.

If you decare yourself non uk resident you lose any state pension increases but still get the original amount from when you declared leaving uk

In Thailand try drink a fresh watermelon 🍉 juice daily, it will greatly improve your endurance and bedroom performance…

I believe if you emergrate from the UK they will automatically close your UK bank account
If you're going abroad you have to tell your bank what country your visiting if you don't your card will be stopped
Just because you haven't had an alcoholic drink for a long time, be careful it's easy to start drinking everyday again I've been there, just saying
