What’s the deal with digital nomads in Thailand? DIGITAL nomads are ditching their day jobs in hopes of working for themselves, by themselves. Thailand is one of the most sought after home bases for digital nomads hailing from around the world, but what does it take to be one of these vagrant employees in the Kingdom? Why Thailand? Digital nomads are trending in Thailand. After Berlin, Barcelona, and Budapest, Bangkok comes in as the best city to work in remotely according to Nomad List. Chiang Mai also makes the cut coming in at number seven and the southern island of Phuket falls at number 27. The cost of living, internet connectivity, fun, and safety are a few factors nomads take into consideration before relocating remotely, and Thailand seemingly exceeds expectations in each one of these categories. The country is also a hodgepodge of unique culture, the locals are friendly, and it is overall a stunning place to reside, so it is easy to see why so many digital nomads are moving to the Land of Smiles. |
