Hi thanks for your reply, I considered the Esim but for me, it's more important to keep the UK sim working(on roaming for my banking and other transactions ) rather than worrying about the sim card for abroad, which I can buy once I get there. any idea how I can achieve that? beyond 180+40days?

In addition to the always helpful advice from MSF if you have an eSIM compatible phone, buy an eSIM for Asia and Australia before you leave the UK, which you csn activate as soon as you land in your first destination, which would save you time looking for a physical bricks and mortar store. Airalo, Holafly & Nomad are some well known travel eSIM providers, but there are others of course.
