Absolutely love these types of videos, Chris. Deeply grateful for all that you do. Helping beautiful people, providing useful guides, the educational stuff, these field trips... I even applied to Iglu now. Coming to Thailand finally. 🙏

Excellent! Keep making them. Thanks, Chris!

Excellent Chris. Please do more of those videos. Thank you buddy.

Your trips are showing the World that there is more to offer in Thailand. Thanks.

Happy to see my old colleague Jimmy in one of your videos. I remember when he started working in BKK back in 2016 and I knew he would be doing great for himself there. I miss working with you, Jimmy!

Great content, super informative. Yes, more of these types of videos would be great.

Please make more of this kind of videos. Excellent insight.

An absolutely awesome video of information. I just sent my brother a link to your video. For IT jobs. I just got back from Thailand myself. I miss it a whole bunch. Thanks again Chris.

Thanks Chris, like the info and would love more on ways to network or groups out there.

Checked out the wesbite. The pay is horrid. Get a job overseas then location arbitrage...

I think this video was not entirely about remote working...this was more about how to get job in Thailand. We want to know more about remotely working in Thailand as solo person

Definitely love these type of informative videos on opportunities in Thailand. Keep em coming Chris 👍🤩

This was great thanks Chris!

Love the video. Especially the Iglu part. Thanks so much for the info. I think I will look into them.

Great info, super useful, thanks!

Keeping Coming Chris Love these vids

Awesome video, will probably apply for this!

Great video! Thank you for the info🎉❤

Excellent useful & informative content . Please keep going ! 😊 . A run down / checklist of things to consider / do for moving to Thailand will be helpful if not already done. Thank you

Perfect video for me. Thanks Chris!

Always highly appreciated Chris

this was a really good and informative video, thanks

Fantastic subject and very helpful. Thanks 😊

Great video, would definitely like to see more of these

Finding a remote job in Thailand is not realistic for the average Westerner. But finding an 80k a year remote job in the west is somewhat realistic. The issue is that just because it's remote doesn't mean there aren't certain times to work. And those times are often between 11pm and 7am US west coast time (PST) which means you sleep during the day and miss out on having fun

Yes Chris , i love this coverage of this video that you have done and have send a message to Jimmys company and i hope they can help me find a job as i am planning to move to Bkk, thank you for your hard work

thank you. It is very good information.

This was a great video Chris, keep up the good work. ~Mike (Spadina bus!)

Love them Chris. Keep making them please.Great interview from both sides. Wassup Adam & Hailey. 👋😊

I would love to see more videos like these

Enjoy your getting out, thank you. Would love a video about opening a business and or hiring locally as an expat in Thailand. Thank you!

Great video Chris. I would like to see a lot more videos like this. Also, you have made so many videos it can be hard to find a recent video on a subject. I recommend every six months to one year put out a summary video of moving to Thailand subjects. Maybe a 15 to to 20 min video where you would spend two minutes talking about getting heath insurance, go here and provide a link to your latest video. Want to get a drivers license, go here for info. Want to rent a place, go here and a link to your latest video. But all your subjects can get stale with time. So it would be nice to have a summary video every six months to a year. Great work and always love the content.

I love it, gradually moving closer to the great relocation.

Great video Chris as I am going to be a remote worker next year but on the retirement visa when I turn 50

From one Chris to another thanks for your videos. I plan on moving to Thailand next year in fact, still deciding on exactly where though. Your video touching on the 8 Bangkok districts was very interesting. Right now it is between Bangkok, Hua Hin, and Pratumnak/Jomtien as I would like to be no further than a few hours away from Bangkok international airports. I'm in Bangkok right now in fact but suffering from a head cold. Darn my luck it seems every single time I visit Bangkok I get sick!!

Hell ya Chris, that was awwesome content,,, would love to hear more about remote working and anything that assists expats living or wanting to live in Thailand for employment.... advising on tax and visa obviously required content ,,, RW4U thanks Chris

I love being a retiree in Thailand. One of my first thoughts when I came here was , “ I can’t imagine working in Thailand”. The whole Thailand vibe doesn’t mesh with concentrating on work. There was little in the way of remote work in my day so it’s just me, being a Boomer, who hasn’t kept up with the times.

The most important would be what kind of wage to expect. Because if you can't leverage a western salary then it's not so attractive. Real remote is you have an Australian/Canadian/us job and you are fully nomad.

Chris love the channel, have learned soooo much from you and feel ready to make the leap in a year or two after my old dog completes his journey! When are you gonna do a video on visas and how to evaluate companies to help you. Looking for better info on which visa for someone who wants to retire but also have the option to open a business in Thailand, or to work remote as a freelancer.

Watching from Platinum Mall ❤Bangkok and in 4 days going to Chumpon South Thailand with my Wife and kid🙏Thanks for your Videos

Thanks Chris. Love your content. You’re a fantastic ambassador. As always, if you ever take a side trip to Japan 🇯🇵, please ping me. 😎

loved it!

Chris, thank you for all the videos. I am traveling to Thailand for the first time in 8 days. I wouldn't be making the trip if you hadn't made the video on the first hour at the airport.

Thanks for the info

Great field trip , thanks ; do more

THIS was exactly MY plan until two years ago. I could have done it. Then my job situation changed but boy the dream was there, absolutely. And if my current job allowed it....I'd be there on the next flight out!!!

Thanks for this. My wife and I have been talking about next steps as we get a little older. One option is I can work remotely in my current job (already did it two times while visiting Thailand) and if she gives up her job we can live much more cheaply in Thailand.

Hey Chris, great video as usual, but highly specialized. Nothing wrong with that since so many think they can come here and live as a digital nomad, remote worker, or KZfaqr. I am curious about other non-tech jobs that might be available for expats. Of course there are teaching jobs galore, or the wanna-be bar owner or real-estate tycoon. I have seen an occasional expat in some hotels and resorts. How about NGO's and other charity organizations? How does one find a position with them? Perhaps you can explore some of the lesser-known job possibilities are available to expats. While you are at it, you might want to get into jobs that expats are not usually allowed to hold in Thailand.

Good topic. I am going to make the job switch to remote tech work. Lots of articles talking about a tech skill shortage compounded by a surge in current tech people retiring so good time to go into that area.

The guy with the connections gets the golden eggs of economic mobility!

Great information, but I think more people are interested in taxes for holders of the new DTV visa. Looking forward to similar material!

Another great video thanks Chris. Is there any further development with the new Tax laws? We looked at Condo’s for sale in our recent trip. Is moving money to Thailand to purchase a Condo possible without getting taxed on the money. Our concern is if we decided to lease the Condo we would become a tax resident, and maybe be taxed on money brought into the country to purchase the Condo. In our case the money would come from the sale of assets in our home country, in which there is no capital gain tax.

Living in the West is driving me insane. It feels like literally everything is upside down: after visiting Pattaya Thailand it’s all I think about every day and I’m counting down the days to get back there.

Great interview! I'm an affiliate partner for Iglu.

Yes! Getting out into the world when it's relevant makes sense.

Pls do more ❤!

Chris have you talk about the water in Bangkok. For drinking , washing and cooking.

Nice video.

I plan to relocate to Thailand and continue providing sustainability consulting services to businesses in my home country and other nations, primarily to my existing clients who can be done remotely. I may also explore opportunities to collaborate with Thai businesses interested in this type of consulting. Although regular travel will be necessary, I believe establishing a base in Thailand will be advantageous. I truly appreciate your video, thank you.

I would like to see a video digging deep into Thai health insurance...you mentioned you recently got a plan and previously had like a nomad insurance. I'm still confused by the options and all their positives and negatives such as large price increases.

Excellent look into what tax and visa for Thailand i worked in BK then had business in Koh SamuiI plan to return to Thailand ultimately with my own IT business but thinking of start with company and do both employed and self employed

Chris all your videos are great ..maybe some casual work for retirees English teaching on line specially for thai students ..pocket money ok £

I might give this a chance tbh. I don't know what the pay is like. I saw one post with concerning figures. But, aye if it's something I could do then why not. I would just need emergency savings and such prior to leaving.

Thanks

Awesome :)

Yes to more field trips

I would like to learn more on being a freelancer or having your own company, as a video maker or writer, something like that. What's the best approach to get a job, or like, asked for a job and being based in Thailand.

State of accessibility for people with service animals wanting to travel to Thailand. Would make a great episode.

i've just listed some jobs available in June in Thailand and Malaysia, for Nationals and Nomads.

gracias gustavo camaguey

VIdeo suggestion: Go back to some old Bangkok condo videos and compare what they were selling for then to what they sell for now. Call it "Buying vs renting a condo. Where has your nest egg gone?"

Are you allowed to work on a retirement visa?..And if you profit from blogging from Thailand on a retirement visa. Do they consider it working here? Can you also be taxed? Thanks

Hi Chris, I hope you're doing well. I've been a follower of your channel for some years and always enjoy your content. I recently watched your latest video about finding remote jobs in Thailand, which I found very helpful for many people. However, my situation is a bit different, and I'd like to propose an idea for a video that I think might be interesting for other followers as well. Although I've visited Thailand several times and feel quite comfortable moving around there, my goal is to permanently move there in the next few years. I'm not looking for a traditional job; instead, I'm interested in finding other entrepreneurs with business ideas who want to start them in Thailand. I have the experience and the necessary capital to invest in promising projects, but from my home country, it's difficult to find people with the same aspirations. Do you know of any sites or platforms where I can find other entrepreneurs interested in starting businesses in Thailand? I think many of your followers could benefit from this information as well. If you could make a video about this or give me some guidance, I would be very grateful. I hope you can consider my suggestion and that it can be useful for you and others in the community. Thank you for all the content you share and for your dedication. Best regards

He says your income would have to be quite high to be in the higher tax brackets but you only have to be over 54 thousand US dollars to get to 30 percent. That is much much higher tax vs the US at the same income levels. Understandable considering normal income levels over there but if you are making US level income you're gonna be paying higher taxes in Thailand it would seem. I'd also love to get confirmation that the tax brackets are handled the same was as in the USA. Meaning only the money that is in a given bracket is taxed at it's respective rate. For example, if I made 60000 US dollars there, that would put me in the 30% bracket. In the US, only the money that is in that bracket is taxed at that rate. Not the whole 60000. I'm guessing it's the same but this is an important thing to confirm. If the whole thing is taxed at that 30% then that is way way higher a rate. This isn't to say that the lower cost of living couldn't still offset that but it at least closes the gap on the cost of living difference. Thanks for the video. I do like these types of videos. I'm really anxious to see a follow up video regarding how the new tax law affects expats simply bringing money to Thailand or even just using Foreign credit cards. Though I'm guessing to really know how it is working, we'll need to wait for tax time next year.

For countries with tax treaties with Thailand (like Canada) you pretty much only pay your home country income tax and those credits should cover all your Thailand tax due right Chris

Would love to learn more about these groups(other then IT related roles) that companies are hiring Expats in Thailand for. Especially if they are not reducing your income to Thai pay rates just because you are living there. Even igloo is saying to customers they are trying to attract that they have to pay less for labor for Expats then working remote in our home countries so we are losing value by using them versus a overseas coming paying us what we used to be payed back home.

COVER THE ROYAL THAI VISA!!!! Where to get it, who can help, how does it work.

Would I be correct in making the assumption that "because Thailand is a developing country and everything is new", that living in a condo/apartment in Bangkok, or any other major city, one could expect access to running water, electricity, and air conditioning 24/7, and that interruptions of service would be a rare occurrence, as in the probability of maybe once every ten years, or so? Just found RW4U, and I'm making my way around RW4U videos. I appreciate that these videos are quite informative. Thank you.

Great video. I was under the impression that Thailand did not want, or allow, ex pats to work. Confusing.

Over the past 5 years I have been focusing my legal career so I could work remotely. My expectation is next year I can spend 3 to 6 months in in Jomtien and fully time by 2026.

Please can I change the type of my visa when I get to Thailand for instance I go to Thailand with working visa and arriving in Thailand maybe i change my mind and apply for school can I change it to student visa or I went to Thailand with tourist visa can I change it to working visa or student visa like vise versa?

Chris Parker Am George Parker From USA but living in Philippines like come live in Thailand what both start a life there

Hi Chris My wife and I would love to spend a year living and traveling in Thailand. The problem is we are not looking to retire there or work there. I’ve tried contacting the consulate on Los Angeles but couldn’t get an answer on what kind of visa we need to apply for or the best way to make the application. Any advice would be appreciated

Great channel and enjoy every of your videos! I am a medical doctor in Cape Town, actually I am a blood specialist and want to move to Thailand. Could you get a doctor in your study and inverview him/her about jobs for doctors/specialists like me?

What’s an “Seo bro “?

I WILL PAY FOR HELP WITH JOB PLACEMENT! ex pro racecar driver, race track director of sales and marketing as well as head coach, private driver coaching business, also ex exotic car dealership general manager.

Working remotely you must have the right visa. LTR WTP or DTV. It’s illegal to work remotely on a tourist visa.

I would love to work remotely. Any suggestions who can help!

Westerners moving to Thailand expecting western wages will be deeply disappointed.

Too damn hot

You know. It's fine when not many foreigners move in my country. But now it's started to feel overwhelmed. I started to see the effects. Here in Thailand we grew up in Buddhist culture which difference from any country else in this world. It's impossible to say when some area in Thailand becomes popular with foreigners it won't change anything. People bring their way their culture from their country here around my house. I wish the atmosphere was the same. I hope Thailand is still the country that fully conservative not much foreigners move around. Thais increasingly concern about this not just me. I do not want to see huge amounts of foreigners change my town my district my province. Many Thais started too feel uncomfortable watching recommendations to move to Thailand etc., I will be honest here Thais now feel uncomfortable with foreigners move in but we always welcome tourists.

why do you keep steering around the issue with these videos? dicuss the elephant in the room. updates on the new earned revenue tax code that started earlier this year. stop rambling about other tops .

Thanks Chris! Love your field trip experiences and information, and looking forward to more of similar content! However, could you possible do a episode on how to differentiate a genuine employer than a non genuine employer in thailand business environment as JOB SCAMs are number one found in many south east asia countries like thailand. Maybe could you teach us how to do background checks and verification with Thailand authorities, to ensure that this particular job is safe to come to work, rather than people just got scam to come thailand, got picked up by representative of human traffic organization in airport and one way ticket straight into hell, just like what happened for the past few years to many malaysians, thailands, taiwanese who got scam to go cambodia to work, which in fact went straight into hell.

It would be great to see a video about importing and exporting Products from Thailand. There is the Khlong Toei Pier in Bangkok and I wonder if it is possible to ship and import products there. I think this could be an interesting visit there on the Pier 🚤🌞

digital nomad is here i am living in bangkok
