What remote jobs do people do while living in Thailand?

Sales

Many people here work remote in IT, web dev, design, marketing, writing and teaching online. Like you, a lot start with support or freelance sites then grow own clients. Coworking spaces in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket are full of devs and creators, easy to meet and share jobs.

For stay long you need right visa, many use DTV or LTR or business visa, not tourist visa if you work. Internet is fast in cities and islands, SIM with unlimited data is cheap, cost of living low so you can build business while here. Just keep work for foreign clients and pay tax as per rules.

You could consider reading a book or two before your trip. I’d recommend Unlock Thailand by Isla Rey on Amazon, it includes all the info and insights you need. You should check it out. A very good companion 👌.
