Question 1

I'm age 51, I'll be in Thailand during 2024 for more than 180 days making me a resident for tax purposes in Thailand. I receive 2 sources of income in the UK. 1/ Police Government Pension which I remit to Thailand every month. ~ 40K THB / month. 2/ I have 2 rental properties in the UK but I do not remit this money into Thailand. It stays in my UK bank. I will continue to do Tax returns to HMRC because I know UK based property rental and UK Police (Government) pensions are incomes always taxable in the UK AND under the UK/Thai DTA only subject to tax assessment in the UK.

It is only the UK government pension which is only taxable in the UK. If you remit the property rental income then this is assessable income in Thailand
