    Especially if one arranges wo/men in suits to extract the debt from oneself

      Maybe it does, but unless you take it out as salary, you would still be required to either service the loan until paid (and after 12 months interest is due as well) or pay back the loan before you closed the company.

      If you think the UK Gov can't touch you in Thailand you are sorely mistaken

      Similarly I can't see £50K lasting more than 3 years in Thailand having spenf a lot of time there working - yes a Thai can live on less but a "farang" with all the double-pricing etc. would really struggle to live on £16K a year for any length of time (unless you really like squalour)

        I am pretty sure it was just a joke.

        Most people here are contractors earning 100-150k+ a year (200k+ a year technically to qualify for 50k loan), probably not gonna take 50k and go on the run lol.
