Popular Post webfact Posted October 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2021 By Tanakorn Sangiam BANGKOK (NNT) - Despite the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic affecting countries around the world, Thailand’s capital of Bangkok continues to gain popularity among international visitors. It was recently named the best spot for work and vacation by a property search website. A UK-based holiday lettings search website Holidu.co.uk has named Bangkok the No.1 place for “workation,” a word which describes both work and vacation, from 150 cities surveyed around the world. The Governor of Bangkok Pol Gen Aswin Kwanmuang said several criteria were taken into consideration to find a suitable destination for those seeking to both work and relax at the same time. These criteria include monthly rents, costs for after-work drinks, average daily hours of sunshine, internet and Wi-Fi speeds, as well as interesting events. The governor said Bangkok is a culturally diverse city and home to world-class tourist attractions and famous street foods, with the cost of living lower than many countries. He said local residents of Bangkok are friendly with foreign visitors. The governor of Bangkok said it is delightful to see Bangkok remain popular among foreigners despite the pandemic which continues to affect the lives of people globally. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-10-20 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mokwit Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 They forgot that LT visas are a cinch for those under 50, unmarried, and with no company with 4 employees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gold Star Posted October 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2021 They must have scored well in the 'After Works Drinks' price category, since almost everything is closed. A Chang at a 7-11 after 5 PM is quite cheap, and you don't need to tip. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a farang living long-term in Thailand two or three years ago who had a Youtube channel where he mainly talked about an orphanage that he helped out at times. He monetized the channel and donated all the proceeds to the orphanage. Thai authorities contacted him and told him to demonetize the channel or it was "work" and he would be deported. Also, in one of the videos, he bought a bunch of chicken and donated it to a fund-raising event for the orphanage and then he had the audacity of helping set up for that event which apparently was considered "work" and also mentioned in the threat to deport him. I forget the guy's name now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
