Safety is a big factor. In Los Angeles. No way I would allow my wife to walk our dogs by herself. In Thailand, she could go to the park at night and be safe without worried about getting attacked by homeless drug addicts.
I am Thai and traveled the word extensively. Thailand + 5G is among the world best The world's best service and food Best-value-of-money cost of living Bangkok is safer than most Western big cities Beaches and mountains are short drive away People are friendly Hospital service is among the world's best International schools are everywhere - City pollution Winter Smog Bangkok Traffic Roads in Thailand is far unsafe than Western, because relax of rules Summer is damn hot Thai police are scam and bribed Overall, I can't think of better place to live in Thailand, dollar for dollar. Food, service, people and culture makes you feel like home.
As a Thai American who is currently living the expat life. Please learn the Thai language, it will help you immerse yourself to the Thai community. Language will help you with business connections. Also people love it when people try to communicate our mother tongue. Do not exploit the country by being a cheap bastard or expect people to bend to your will. Overall, learn, grow, and enjoy EVERYTHING Thailand has to offer. ขอขอบคุณสำหรับการฟัง. Love your content bro.
Thailand is amazing to stay in, especially in the North. The Prepaied phone plans with unlimited data makes Internet Connection like a breeze, food is world class, and they have the whole cuisine of the world as well. Western food has been cheaper and cheaper so price difference between Thai food and Western isen't as big anymore. Best time of the year to syat in Thailand is November - February in the North, and Thailand has great places regardless year around. So if the weather is bad in one area of Thailand, its good another place in Thailand. Price Range is cheap, but not dirt cheap. Nepal, India and Vietnam are dirt cheap, thailand is only a bit on the cehaper end realy. But you will get a good life for 1500 USD a month here. Its also easy to sort a longer stay when you get there, and if you ask expats that lives there or long term tourists they will tell you how.
2010-2017: China 🇨🇳 and Taiwan 🇹🇼. 2017- January 2024. 2024 to Belize 🇧🇿 for 1-3 months and then go to Columbia, to Thailand or back to America if my business is up to 8k per month. I lived in Sweden in 1999 . So yeah… better to live in Asia, most of South America and I may try Croatia 🇭🇷 someday.
It's actually illegal pretty much everywhere in the world to work on a tourists/visitors visa. The key, most places don't care or chase people unless it's obvious. Like visa runs.
Thank you for sharing your incredible story!.. I am here to offer a second alternative, the Colombian Digital Nomad Visa. It allows you to legally reside in Colombia working as a digital nomad for a period up to two years... I can help...
'cause we were pussies' - with a sraight face 🤣 went to your main channel to learn code and now staying cause I enjoy your honesty and personality so much hahaha
@@tuomaskivI suggest a Simo hotspot that you can always connect to the fastest internet service/connection so you don’t bounce around from coffee shop. You can also share the signal with your friends but I suggest not sharing uploading videos with each other unless you buy a larger amount of gigs per month. I lived in Taiwan and China for 7 years. Always furnished. Some better than others. Best food is street food. Unless a fancy Western restaurant where you treat yourself to a place with a bunch of expats. I traveled to Phuket for a week and my Mother lived in Bangkok. She couldn’t handle the heat. BTW in China and Taiwan. Safest places I’ve lived and shift never gets stolen. Mostly because of Chinese cameras in airports. Good or bad and in 2015. I saw someone leave a computer 💻 by accident and sat in an airport. Nobody touched it. I couldn’t believe it. In America the Macbook would have been stolen.
don't forget if you ever try to build a family here you can't. No matter how much you earn and what work you need a Thai gurantor to buy a fucking car. Now imagine the rest. You may forget that you can't buy land here but you need to rememebr even for a condomonium you need to transfer the full amount in Cash from outside of Thailand paying significant remittance fees unless you have a PR or citizenship which takes years to build. Thailand is not a long term option. Don't look at this place as your permanent home. If you married a local take her to your country.
I just came back from Phuket to ShanghaiI original plan to stay there close to 30 day, while local spicy food I couldn't bear, so options are limited and now hotel price is soaring so.... need more info

As someone who wants to become a digital nomad myself, I loved this video! Would you ever become a digital nomad in Riyadh?

Super Professional Video! Was 3 months in Thailand ( from Europe ) and see in the exact same way.
Love the summary and thoughts around living here (and elsewhere), subbed!
I wish I was making at least 2k a month so I could move to Thailand. I'm over California
This video was very insightful, I was recently thinking about becoming a digital nomad and your video got recommended to me randomly. Subscribed 👍😊

CAN'T wait for that life myself ❤
I heard it is illegal to work in Thailand on tourist visa. Did you have any precautions to not get caught?
It's actually illegal pretty much everywhere in the world to work on a tourists/visitors visa. The key, most places don't care or chase people unless it's obvious. Like visa runs.
Work on digital world is safe to get caught.😊
It's about Thailand not about how to be digital nomad
What apartments are those? Great views!!
In Bangkok I stayed in Lebua State Tower hotel and Koh Samui it was a villa in the hills on Eastern side of the island
Was watching about digital nomad in Thailand, came across here and I must say you’re very good looking!
Awesome Video, very informative. Thank you !! 🎉
Et tainnut jaksaa hommata työlupaa? :^)
I would never work on the beach with my laptop.. imagen being all sweaty full of dust and a glare screen 😅😂

Thank you for sharing your incredible story!.. I am here to offer a second alternative, the Colombian Digital Nomad Visa. It allows you to legally reside in Colombia working as a digital nomad for a period up to two years... I can help...

Being young and retired with money is better than being a digital nomad because you legally pay low taxes to the I.R.S your home country!
