RE: Beginnings of a Digital Nomad: The Remote Year – Day 1
Good luck in your business venture, now that you're in BKK @theywillkillyou!
I've been living in Thailand for a few years now, working remotely. Has had its ups and downs, a rollercoaster at times, smooth sailing at other times. But that's the result of the choice we make to try to make it on our own and not settle for the 9-5.
Reminds of a saying, I don't remember by whom: entrepreneurs work 80 hours so they don't have to work 40 😉
Just make sure you also take time to explore and enjoy BKK too!
Haha I love that quote about working 80 hours, so true! Yeah been to BKK plenty of times for business so it's nothing new but I still love it :) Where in Thailand are you based at and what do you do if I may ask? Just curious :)
I'm based in Chiang Man atm. BKK is a bit too busy for me, I like more balance between city benefits and easy access to nature. Chiang Mai offers that perfect balance! Def check it out if you're here for a while.
I'm a man of many trades. Right now, my focus is mostly on selling on Amazon.
My tip: start connecting with likeminded people, now that you made it to Thailand. There is a big community here, especially in Chiang Mai. Also in BKK, I'm sure, but that's such a big city that you'll have to put in some more effort to find the right people to connect with.
I heard the same exact thing about Chiang Mai, only good things :) Yeah some of my "likeminded" business partners are based in BKK so we're all in the same (if not, similar) hustle! Thanks for the heads up & I'll definitely be dropping you a line whenever I decided to take the trek up to Chiang Mai!
Sure!
And thanks for the kind words!
