What is the best visa option for staying and working remotely in Thailand for a year?

@Aake *********

BS.

@Aake *********

then tell me why hundreds of digital nomads are working out of Thailand without ever getting harassed by Immigration? I clearly said: stay under the radar. Staying "under the radar" includes, DON'T tell anyone what you are doing, don't post it on Facebook. Immigration is checking your internet traffic?? Come on! If this was true that Immigration is checking your internet traffic, they would need thousands of new recruits for this task 🤣😂

@Nongnuch *******

What century do you live in? It doesn't take thousands of people from immigration to find suspects who work online. If I need a source of income to, online or site in Thailand, my documents will show that I comply with Thai law. I don't understand that so many farangs are looking for loopholes in the laws all the time

@Aake *********

I personally know a young Russian digital nomad, who is working for U.S. American IT companies from out of Thailand since three years, he would laugh about your imaginations

@Nongnuch *******

I have a neighbor who drives a car against a red light but has not been punished for it

@Aake *********

This is Thailand, and there are no reptiloids who are checking your internet traffic 😂🤣 do you believe in chemtrails and the flat earth?

@Iliyan **********

so is speeding

@Todd ********

well, try to speed and then work without a permit and check how each pans out for you. You might notice a difference

@Iliyan **********

lol. You must be new. The difference is - there is a possibility you get caught for one of them.

@Todd ********

so what is your point? Rely on not getting caught for a crime that immigration regularly cracks down on or what?

@Iliyan **********

Regularly cracks down on remote workers? Yeah right.

@Iliyan **********

if you can’t figure out my point… I leave you to it

@Todd ********

I'm not new, man. I've been in Thailand for almost a decade now.

@Iliyan **********

so in your long experience, how many people do you know that have suffered ANY consequences for online work?

@Todd ********

on top of my head I can think of my Brazilian neighbor, David bond (the YouTuber), a Russian couple who had a drone making tourist videos... All those were people that were staying close to me in Bangkok who have faced a fine and deportation + entry ban. I ain't gonna start with the Phuket folk because the list there would break the comment limit.

@Iliyan **********

Baloney, pal. Just making stuff up to win a FB dispute. You Googled the name of someone who actually got deported and are inventing "all those people close to me..."

@Joseph ***

yeah on top i woke up at 6:30 just to google that to respond to mr Mcretired... I knew the guy and his lady at the time cause she was a friend of my ex. Don't need to google anything to win an argument with someone who is trying to express support for a crime under the pretext of "you aren't getting caught"...

@Iliyan **********

Yeah, yeah... You're all in on your silly story and sillier scaremongering.

@Joseph ***

and don't delete your comments. I already have them on SC. Also, it doesn't do you any good in terms of your argumentative strength and confidence in the discussion.

@Joseph ***

warning people about their potentially illegal actions is neither silly nor scaremongering. It's help.

P. S. It just so happens that I'm going to Chaeng Wattana tomorrow morning. You want me to ask them about all this so we can get some first hand opinion on the matter? They are very kind you know 😉

@Iliyan **********

What an asenine comment. Do you walk up to cops and ask if it's okay to jaywalk or speed? You're not a serious person. You lie like a rug, use you keyboard to finger wag, scaremonger, and make up friends and lies to flesh out your imaginery world. Redirect your energy to something production. Something real.

@Joseph ***

Why would I lie about this? It's a crime and people shouldn't do it. That's all. The bad examples are countless and everyone in country knows about such cases.

It's spelled 'asinine' not 'asenine'. And that's you, not me. Illiterate clown 🤡

@Iliyan **********

Yep, you're truly a childish, keyboard warrior clown. Nobody cares about spelling on FB! But you're desperate to have a one-man celebration over something, anything. I think you're actually jealous some have a successful, independent life and all you can is that try to drag them down from your keyboard with your increasingly preposterous flailings. Refocus, redirect, and realize: you are a see-through annoyance. Nothing more.

@Joseph ***

unlike you I'm literate and I have the guts to stand behind my words while you delete your comments. Your presence here is as useful as your comb. There is absolutely nothing in you that i could be jealous of. Yuck.

@Iliyan **********

You truly must be near your end as all you have left are your delusions. *I've deleted not one comment.* Your brain has turned to mush. And who said anything about me being the source of your jealosy?? This must by a Freudian slip on your part. I was talking about OP and remote workers in general.. She has a potential lifestyle as a gainfully employed remote worker and you come barging in, lying about people you don't know and don't exist, hallucinate that I have deleted comments, and generally show the depths that too many failed men in Thailand sink to. Trolling, fingerwagging, scaremongering and hallucinating on FB all day.

You're Exhibit A when it comes to the deadender expat who Thailand actually would like to rid themeselves of. But they don't. You remain as a warning to others how far one can fall.
