Most pension providers , including the govt, will pay directly into a Thai bank account here in Thailand, without charge. Make sure they send in pounds for changing here though , you get a better rate. The receiving bank may make a small charge, maximum 200bht, depending on amount.
Ageing is a privilige denied to many .

The above advice by TB is the way to go if at all possible.
It is virtually impossible these days to open a UK bank account without physically presenting yourself at a Branch office.
Money laundering regulations have made it very difficult to do.
