If she's your wife, you can do whatever kind of work you want on your (her) property as long as you can meet the marriage visa requirements.

I'm glad you met some nice friends. My ratio for real friends is about 1 out of 10. The 9 will offer me investment opportunities, will want to waste a lot of time picking my brain about experience and business here. One of the worse ones I documented on video, a "friend" tricked me into a bad situation:

I think in Chiang Mai for example, there is a great community of expats and digital nomads. I am just really far away from that :)

95% of the people you meet that are white in Thailand are people that you should avoid. Thai wives are great if they aren’t addicted to alcohol and fun times because they were met in a bar or if you don’t cheat on them. That eliminates pretty much 99% of the people in this group and that’s why they have bad experiences. The most dangerous thing you will ever find in Thailand are expats.

it’s not a matter of wanting it or not. At some point you’re going to have a flat tire, especially on a scooter. The tires are pretty thin compared to a bigger bike. A flat tire in Thailand is actually how I met my wife. So, they aren’t always bad. Aside from meeting my wife from an experience like this, I also have at least four or five really cool stories related to people here helping me with directions that ended up having me stay the night, with mechanical problems they ended up becoming lifelong friends etc.

this is true. Unless you have had a Thai person bail you out on a scooter, you haven’t had a full experience. This is very funny because it is very true.
