Great stuff and many thanks for that. My situation would be slightly different as I'm technically self- employed, although in a partnership. So my thinking was maybe a covering letter from myself and then another letter from accountants/solicitors to verify my status. Another option would be retirement visa, however the DTV visa would be more accurate as I'd still be still working whilst in Thailand and then travelling back to the UK roughly every 60 to 90 days for a few weeks before returning to Thailand. I'd probably try and avoid spending the 183 days per year in Thailand that means you need to do a tax return.

Has anyone successfully applied for the DTV yet ? I'm thinking of applying and just wondering what evidence is required to prove you're working remotely.

So I'm looking for a 2 bedroom condo/apartment to rent for roughly 12 months but would prefer to have a monthly contract in case plans change. If anyone has any recommendations/advice other than look at the usual websites that would be greatly appreciated. Location wise is fairly flexible and I'm thinking mid/upper Sukhumvit. Budget is roughly up to 50k a month but nothing wrong with cheap and cheerful either and would sign a years lease for the right place.

Thanks for that @SAGuy Just priced a trip up using the lowest fares quoted and came to £618 rtn with one piece of checked luggage. Not enough of a saving to persuade to change from LHR but will keep an eye on them.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. Bangkok Smile (not sure which branch) is probably one that I'm going to explore further due to the locations and overall reputation. If anyone has any experience there (thanks KIWI66) then that would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone know of a good dental practice in Bangkok and maybe the actual dentist's name as well ? Just for regular stuff like fillings, crown etc. Thanks in advance.
