Being a digital nomad in Thailand feels like you’ve won the lottery or you’re royalty – seriously! I spent two glorious years in the Land of Smiles while working online, and those memories will forever be etched in my brain – and my heart.
Not only is Thailand a breathtakingly gorgeous place to base yourself, but it’s extremely affordable, has a rich culture, fantastic food, and some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. There are many reasons to visit Thailand as a digital nomad – it’s a no-brainer!
Top Reasons Why Thailand is a Digital Nomad’s Dream Destination
The benefits of living in Thailand as a digital nomad are endless. After spending a significant amount of time there, and speaking with other travelers and expats, there are the top reasons you should consider making Thailand “home” for a while.
1. Affordable Cost of Living
For me, one of the biggest benefits of living in Thailand as a digital nomad is the cost of living. You just can’t beat it. Your dollars stretch so much further in Thailand when compared to places like the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, or other parts of Europe.
Whether it’s rent, food, or entertainment, you get way more for much less – and you don’t have to compromise on quality either. The value for money is excellent. For example, one-bedroom apartments in the city cost an average of just $460 per month.
This allows you so much more freedom to find a place to live that you love, eat amazing food every day, and experience the best of life during your downtime. It’s the perfect place for budding nomads who want to maintain a high standard of living while building their online empire.
2. Great Connectivity
During my stint in Thailand, I lived the majority of my time on the island of Koh Samui. And even though it’s a small island, I rarely had issues with finding a solid internet connection. I found that to be true no matter where I was in the country – especially in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket.
Cafes and coworking spaces offer super reliable WiFi, which is a lifeline for anyone whose office is wherever their laptop sits. You won’t have to worry about missing a Zoom call or a deadline because of spotty service. The only time I found this to be an issue was during major storms (the peak storm season is from May through October).
3. Great Community Vibes
It’s no secret that Thailand is irresistible to digital nomads. So, you certainly won’t have any problems making friends, networking, and meeting fantastic people – both locals and travelers alike. I still have friends today that I met while working from random coworking spaces or rooftop bars.
No matter where you are in Thailand, you can find meetup groups and digital nomad groups that are great for connecting to like-minded people. Many coworking spaces also offer events and workshops that can help you expand your social circle and skills at the same time.
4. Tropical Weather
I don’t know about you, but being in tropical weather makes all my “feel-good” chemicals fire in my brain. Yes, I even love the humidity. And for all those tropical weather-loving people out there, Thailand will be your haven.
The warm, tropical climate allows you to work from a hammock on the beaches of Koh Phi Phi or from a mountain-view cafe in Chiang Rai. This constant dose of Vitamin D is a serious mood enhancer, and the ability to take work outside encourages a flexible working style that many nomads crave.
