Is it allowed to create YouTube content while on a tourist visa in Thailand?

Yes of course, you can film in Thailand. Tip; read up on how publishing and intellectual property rights works in an international context.

YouTube videos are harmless. People are posting them in their thousands. You won't get any attention UNLESS you post something which criticises the government, Buddha or the monarchy. Stuck to tourism and nobody's going to take a blind bit of notice

Don't tell anyone dude ... 🕶

You aren’t allowed to work online while living in Thailand on a tourist visa. Immigration still considers that working in Thailand on a tourist visa even if you are not actually going to a physical job. They will deny entry at Suvarnabhumi if you say this upon arrival

Thailand is crying out for more youtubers so i'm sure they will turn a blind eye.

theoretically you are even allowed to mowe your own lawn ....

Seriously?

Are you free person?

Take Peters advice using a VPN.

The Thai authorities say, that if a Thai would do the same "work" and can request to get paid for it, then it is "work". Not mine but their logic.

Get yourself a VPN, and make sure it’s connected whilst you are online, wherever you are!!!

If any officer asks you what you are doing in Thailand, you are a tourist. Maybe you happen to make a few videos about your experience in Thailand to share on youtube.

If you say you are "working on Youtube," then now you are going to be violating immigration law unless you have a work permit and a proper visa.

Just do it,

Most things in life it’s better to ask forgiveness, not permission.

We are doomed as a species

That is an invaluable document to read

The section on bloggers applies to making YouTube videos

Digital 🫓🔑ry is very common here

tt is an expert in this area of law

Hahahaha

yes. Have fun. And ignore the silliness this question will garner

The definition of "work" by immigration is not solely attached to income. There are many kinds of work that require the proper visa and work permit even if unpaid.

The Thai government has mentioned they allow travel youtubers to make content on Thailand on tourist visa as long as it is part of a larger trip...but if it is solely on Thailand then they would require a work permit.

I would say it's probably a grey area.. If the content has anything to do with Thailand it could be a black area... But realisticly I would not worry that much of immigration coming knocking at your door unless you do something stupid.

"Is it legal to cook your own food while on a tourist visa"?

Grey area

This is the main business here bro😅

Many doing it

There are literally hundreds doing it .
