thats an expensive condom 🤣

John Fitton well thats certainly against the rules but you do you

Alan Turnbull TM30 is being done by the landlord / hotel / etc.. YOU have to do notning at all… unless its your house

Shashank Shekhar that is a wild assumption. 1. a remote worker that relies on VPN uses a vpn router (for example a glinet router) with sufficient cpu power (bottleneck for vpn). 2. Wireguard protocol is significantly faster than openvpn which is why i dont use vpn like Nord. 3. i just measured mbit on my AIS 5G connection without vpn. mbit with vpn to germany. with my phone… i could test my 2gbit fiber but lazy to start the laptop 😅

but maybe you are also on Koh Phangan and it has bad connection 🤷‍♀️ i never went there.

Jan Metzler no place will have a UPS. everything sounds like a you problem. this wont be fixed. i just told you the facts 🤷‍♀️

Jan Metzler if you say so 🤷‍♀️ i work here remotely for 3.5 years now… wifi, fiber, 4G, 5G… multiple hours video calls every day… i never had a „celltower“ go out in heavy rain 😅 must be a Phangan issue then i guess.

there is no solution to your problem. hotels and house owners will always write whatever they think is right to attract guests. you can only try to ask for a speedtest proof.

another fact: the powergrid isnt that stable everywhere. and you often have micro cuts which will restart your router. so there goes the reliable fiber connection 🤷‍♀️ while 4g/5g isnt effected. i personally run an ecoflow powerstation as UPS so that i am always online and always powered for the day. worst thing that happens is that i am suddenly sitting in the dark 🤣

then why didnt you just buy a local

sim and use 5G? lol… i worked on remote islands that didnt even had a road, no 7-11, nothing… but mobile internet…

on the mainland you will get fiber internet almost everywhere.

book an accommodation once you arrive.

are you on drugs?

what will be your way of earning income? because on ED you wont be allowed to work.

also the normal ED (private language school) would be a 3 months visa and can be extended 3 times. so a max. of 1 year and then you need to leave the country.

maybe children need more consistency than joining a school for only a year.

Richard Broderick there is definitely seasons… i live in krabi and here you can see a steep decline over night in march. every year. its very very noticeable… and after songkran its literally dead… on Koh Lanta many places even closedown until november. every year.

and in the north you have a burning season where its horrible.

and then you have rainy season for many months as well.

so to say there is no seasons is pretty wild.

and numbers are not 60%. check your facts. also: one exceptional year pre-covid cannot be the standard
