My Story on Setting up Home in Thailand

[@sid35gb]

There’s a work around for frozen U.K. pension. You take a 6 month holiday in the Philippines 🇵🇭 show the DWP your arrival date and then verify you’ve been there as a resident it’s just over 6 months. This works because the Philippines has a reciprocal agreement with the U.K.🇬🇧

[@Biggestisland]

Agree. I live in Philippines & fortunate UK has reciprocal agreements for pensions

[@WeixDraqz]

But once you go back, then it'll get frozen again 😂

[@rockettravels1977]

Spot on

[@nigelmullen9546]

I think if you did that then with the upcoming tax laws in Thailand it would also allow you to bring in a significant amount of money from outside Thailand tax free if you had that in UK or other country from say a rental income as you wouldn't have been a resident in Thailand over 180 days in that tax year.

Thanks for sharing Tony. Hua Hin has an interesting variety of landscapes for these long walks and talks. I lived in HH from 2000-12 and considered it home. It sure has changed, but it still feels like home when I see you around the neighborhood. Well done the vlog is taking shape.

At the end of the vlog where you were sat near the canal I used to live across the road behind the blue flags, I lived there for a year when I was 24 in 1994. There is a store there with a red sign called Pipae's, just a small 7/11 like shop. If you ever pop in there just say Vern sent you, I went to see her last month and she remembered me!

[@rockettravels1977]

Fantastic comment

Great outlook on life, most of us forget how short it is, enjoy the journey. Fair play to you both, shes definitely not alone in feeling the stress of the move, its literally life changing moving to a completly new area. Glad you've both settled in. 10 months on the house sale, damn, im 3 months into my uk house sale and theres no end in sight yet. The sale process in the UK is painfully slow. Looking forward to seeing you raise a glass at official completion day!

Alright fella? Big fan of the channel - really interesting story about your relationship with the boss - human interest stories are always the most interesting. Hope you don't mind me asking but as a tattooed man myself, I'm interested to know what tattoo you have blurred out on your hand? I have a nordic symbol which I sometimes get questioned on - just wondering if you have something similar?

[@rockettravels1977]

It’s football related

I don't know if you are aware, but there's a giant bug on the front of your shirt 😅

[@rockettravels1977]

lol 😜

[@johnshores6061]

I laugh when people assume they know you and your story by a quick look . People make assumptions on rheir own experiences and stories about being taken for lots of money another assumption is every girl is in the sex industry . When you have found the right thai woman you just know . Im happy you and the boss are so settled now its a cultural shock and thai women are work but once you have found your soulmate there the most loving and tentative breed of people you could wish to meet .
