What strategies can help schedule days around night work hours in Thailand?

Curious, what type of freelance/remote jobs you guys do? and do you know any companies that are hiring?

I work from 1am to 9am Tuesday to Saturday. I go about my day after (Thai classes mostly) and sleep around 5-6pm.

I don’t do dinners or nights out during the week but once Saturday comes I can either rest, go to dinners, nights out and see my friends.

Works really well for me. It’s a small sacrifice I have accepted to live intentionally the way I want to.

That’s tricky - I do 4pm til 12pm (UK hours) and it’s fine for me.

You’re doing a proper night shift so I’m guessing you don’t see much sun 😢

Not a simple solution but I’ve seen Americans and Brits on DTV with remote jobs from Singapore with much friendlier hours

When I realized I was spending most of my days inside and would only go out after 4:30 or 5:90 in the afternoon I came to learn that that is a very Thai wad of work/life balance because it’s so hot outside during the day much of the time. In several books I’ve read about Thailand I have confirmed it. N many ways Bangkok is a morning town, but it’s much more of a night city if you pay attention

Holy *** guys. That does not sound comfortable at all. Why did you choose Thailand? 🤣

I work from 19:30 to 04:30. I go to bed immediately after. I usually wake up around 11:30, then between 12:00 and 17:00 I do whatever. Then I come home and nap before work.Get black out curtains too. That helps tremendously

It all depends on your job and how it effects you

2100-0500 is a struggle because most people hate night shifts

If you work a traditional schedule M-F…then your off days really Sat Sun and most of Monday

So you either do something on Saturday do something on Sunday then rest on Monday

Or reverse it

My only advice is this…I’ve worked night shifts for 20+ years and through my experience is this…be unpredictable with your sleep patterns so you don’t get into a true routine…sleep early for a few weeks…sleep late for a few weeks…sleep intermittently for a few weeks

So your body never gets into s routine where you feel unable to go out and do anything
