How is the city working remotely?
Some lists rank it as the most popular, while others rank it as one of the world’s worse for working remotely.
Avoid conflict
Don’t talk about the monarchy in public
Be respectful of Thai religious customs
Being a bit late is mostly acceptable
Thong Lo has an international flavor, with many Japanese, European, and other ex-pats living in the area. The neighborhood is also popular as a nightlife destination for local Thai young people. It has some of the most expensive real estate in Bangkok but contains something for everybody.

When to bow? When to hug? And avoid confrontation... these topics and more during this video with Kru Smuk
Always welcome back to Thailand 🇹🇭. This is also your home. 😊😊😊
Very good information thanks for that 😊
Got to visit Thailand one day. On my bucket list
I think you will enjoy it !
Very nice
Hi, could you pls do a series of Singapore's working culture? Thank you and appreciate it!
Goh, this topic is interesting. What would the angle be? Are you in Singapore now?
Hi Philip love ur videos! Went on a 8 day solo trip to Phuket last month and fell in love with Thailand. I realise its perfect for a digital nomad, i'm planning to fly again this last week of November for a 30 day 'workation" and am confused between going to Phuket again (Rawai as you suggest) or Chiang Mai? what would you recommend?
Lastly last trip i stayed in Patong, is Rawai as international traveller food friendly as Patong is? Patong seemed to have an abundance of diverse restaurants so something for everyone, would i have a similar experience if i stay in Rawai instead of Patong?
Tanveer, maybe you could split your 30 days between Phuket and Chiang Mai. The best month to experience Chiang Mai might be December. If you tried Patong on your last trip, you might like Rawai. The food options are good and it will be less crowded. But, you must explore the food of Phuket Town is well.
Upcoming video will compare working from Chiang Mai and Phuket.
@@PhilipJames360 Thanks for ur suggestions I think I’ll do just that! Really looking forward to the Chiang Mai vs Phuket remote work comparison video! Keeping my notification on for the same. Much love.
great video you both! break the rules, not the law. 'Arnold' ✌
Thank you Marcin, and thanks for the drone footage.
Are you sure 🤔? avoiding conflict!
She doesn’t even know how attractive she is. Sheesh.

Also leave your identity politics at home or leave yourself at home. Bye
