CrunchWrapSupreme Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 A few months ago when I was at my local country bumpkin Issan govt hospital, waiting for the jab, I overheard the other farangs in line talking about their online work. Surprisingly I was the only teacher, though many foreign teachers here also earn on the side with online teaching. These guys were all techies, doing web development and e-commence, mentioning AWS and SEO and full stack UX, yadda yadda. Getting a legit visa explicitly for such things is next to impossible. They were all on visas for marriage or retirement, then doing this on the side, a grey area. The USD's now nearly 37 baht. Woo-hoo! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a legit visa explicitly for such things is next to impossible. First time back since the pandemic and I was really surprised by it as well. I always felt like one or two people out of 50 in a suitable place for remote working were reasonably active before... but this trip it was more like 4-5 out of 20. (I was also quite surprised by the big group tours with young westerners... and just how much stuff they were packing into a day!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunPer Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 With one million people coming on the four new visas and as number 41 out of 66 countries as best destination for remote work, I see 250.000 queuing people already up for the new "remote work visa"... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbox Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 This ranking is a bit misleading - it is about the people doing remote work in their own country, not people moving to another country. I'm yet to see anyone moving to do remote work from the German beaches. In terms of people relocating to another country to do remote work for better lifestyle and low cost of living Thailand would rank very high.

There are thousands doing remote work from Thailand and pretty much none is on working visa. All sorts of visas are used, pre-covid the usual visa run would do ok.

MyFriend You Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I will most assuredly be corrected - but aren't VPN's actually illegal in Thailand.........I seem to remember an obscure law that prohibits any sort of encryption or masking of data signals. What company in their right mind wiould allow remote work without a VPN Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that would kind of rule out online banking too... I do remember discussion of this a long time ago though, and there were some odd rules on the books.

SoilSpoil Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Remote working in Thailand is great with the 5/6 hour time zone advantage to Europe and the 10 to 12 to the US. Also, I pay just 10 dollars a month for a sim card that gives me fast enough mobile internet, so very flexible. Tax? Never paid it, home country doesn't want it as I don't live there anymore, and I certainly won't open Pandora's box here in Thailand. Work a couple of hours a day, grab a curry, and then off to the beach. For me: "Thailand number one"! Edited July 22, 2022 by SoilSpoil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedrogaz Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 A pitiful rating. The corruption and graft inn Thailand exceeds 2/3 rds of the sample. Let's put it simply Thailand is corruption central Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
