I have just arrived back in Thailand after completing my round the world trip in just 130 days.
This video was supposed to be a recap of my year as a digital nomad in 2022 but for now, our story will end here.
Let me explain...

I have been to 48 countries. Thailand in my opinion is the best country in the east. I had my 21st birthday at the Full moon party in 2004 and have been back multiple times, my longest stay was 5 months. Now I am married to a Thai. We plan on going back this next year possibly to live part time in the north :) Cheers.

You're right, one moment will bury you forever. I am Thai and quite wealthy but I always remember when I was a kid in the countryside, catch fish in the fields, find bamboo in forest, dig insects ...etc Nowadays you are so rich and had luxury cars, but you always miss the days when you rode a motorcycle with your friends. Money isn't always everything, you always miss a good old days even you don't have a single penny.

Great to see a new video from you, excellent story telling as always. I can relate to the living out of a suitcase and getting tired. Now about 4 months in each country seems to be the sweet spot for me. So traveling slower I guess has helped balance work productivity, burnout, and avoiding getting bored.

Hey Chris, this is Michael, the guy that took care of your meal tonight at Macaw Cafe and Restaurant in Rawai. I hope you enjoyed your meal. I felt like taking care of your meal, because of all the things that I have learned from you throughout years and the time and effort you put into making these videos and obtaining content that has been incredibly useful to my wife and I. I figured that this is the absolute least I could do to show you a little gratitude. Just a reminder, I actually did meet you a few years ago in Chiang Mai at the Maya Shopping Mall downstairs near Rimping. Take care Chris :)

It's a great opportunity for you to come to Argentina. In Buenos Aires we have a really affordable city, secure in most places and with a lot of activities to do. Also, I know a group of digital nomads that goes to different bars or places every Thursday and may be helpful for you. If you want, I can send you a link to join to that group of nomads and also information about Buenos Aires.

Portugal and Montenegro have a lot of potential as Digital Nomad spots. I'd say that half of Portugal is outside of Lisbon and Porto, not even on the mainland, but on Madeira and the Azores. As I recall you've been to the Canary Islands, Madeira should be somewhat familiar. The Montenegrin Riviera is a bit expensive for what you get, but still decent. I'd pick historical towns like Tivat over the larger, touristy Budva. Can't wait for your South America videos.....
