Thailand has long been a firm favourite tourist destination for people from all parts of the world, yet you might not be aware that Bangkok has gained a reputation as the premier location for those who manage their businesses online. There are many reasons for this, which we will examine in this article.
- Fantastic Accommodation – For a few hundred dollars a month, you can live in a 5-star condo unit, with swimming pool, fitness room, stores and, of course, free hi-speed Internet. There is a condo glut in the city, which keeps rentals down and while foreigners are not permitted to own land in Thailand, you can buy a condo unit, subject to conditions. Spend the evening enjoying a seafood buffet at Novotel 20 then head to Sukhumvit Rd where the expats hang out.
- Low Cost of Living – While everywhere is becoming more expensive, Bangkok is much cheaper than Europe or the US and if you were thinking that Thailand is a developing country, the infrastructure is on a par with Europe, with great roads and an extensive rail network that connects the country. Food is cheap and some of the best street food in Asia can be found on the vibrant sidewalks of Bangkok, a strange blend of old and new that has a charm all of its own.
- Like-Minded People – There are cool shared workspaces in Silom Rd, where entrepreneurs from all over the world collaborate and share ideas and concepts, indeed, most of the blockchain developers are based in Bangkok. If you are looking for a tech partner, you will likely find one during your time in the City of Angels, which is a huge metropolis with so much to see and do.

- High Speed Internet – The coverage in Thailand is up there with the best; fibre optic connections for $30 per month and if you decide to hit the beach, there is good Internet reception, which is vital for every digital nomad. You can expect to see 5G in Thailand this year and 4G is readily available; most expats have an Internet unlimited package on their smartphone SIM, which they can hotspot to their laptop and work anywhere any time. As soon as you land in Bangkok, you can buy a SIM card that gives you unlimited access to the World Wide Web.
- Close Proximity to Paradise – Living in Bangkok means you are only a couple of hours from a tropical beach, indeed, you could skip the city altogether and live on the beach on one of the many islands. There are many expats who live a millionaire lifestyle in the resort areas of Thailand and if you can manage your business from your laptop and phone, why not live in such a place?
If you would like to check out Bangkok for a couple of weeks, check with the Thai government regarding Covid-19 before making any hotel bookings and you can see for yourself why so many expats love Bangkok and Thailand.
