I am a digital nomad for the past 5 years and I wouldn't even consider taking long term visa unless I really know what is real daily life like at the place I choose lmao.
You need a reality check, taking long term visas meaning you will have to live in Thailand for months on end. If you didn't even know and like the place enough to even consider living (renting a place, paying bills, doctor visits, buying groceries, etc) why bother getting DTV? Might as well visit and be a tourist for few weeks and move onto other places to visit.
