nomads

Its fascinating to see new tools merging for nomads by nomads, I am curious about how wp-api is being used behind the scenes for this app.

And it's integrated with my Slack group #nomads, which lets you meet other travelers in every city.

The nomads were forced to stay in the hills, overgrazing during the dry season.

Thought this might be helpful for the digital nomads and other travelers out there.

I think that is fundamentally wrong aside from the few digital nomads that wander internet cafes with their laptops.

The general point of nomads working in Thailand is the ability to lower outgoings beyond what you could do in North America or Europe.

You are trying to apply a Western point of view, digital nomads are not considered to be an economic benefit by Thai law officials.

I’ve seen a few people successfully work from here on the nomads slack channel though.

Many digital nomads are software developers (including myself) but many aren't.

Basically we are building a website where digital nomads can share and discover itineraries and then group together to share accommodation costs.

For others wondering if 2K euro is really needed, there are plenty of 'digital nomads' living in Ho Chi Minh and Bangkok for $1200 a month.

It's like contacting a race of fierce equestrienne nomads.

The purpose of the law [1] was to prevent foreign workers from displacing native Thai workers, and "digital nomads" do nothing of the sort.

I think it is much more likely that digital nomads are operating unlicensed businesses in foreign countries than it is that they are earning "US sourced self-employment income".

Having reviewed the form in detail, I also believe that self-employed US citizens working abroad with US-sourced self-employment income (i.e., digital nomads) also need to play the ~15% self-employment tax, even if you're able to get out of the "normal" income tax with the Foreign Income Exclusion.

Eg: "Digital nomads – people working remotely or running online businesses – in Thailand can legally work there on tourist visas" But one paragraph down: "It is unlikely that travellers will be granted a re-entry stamp after two or three visa runs.

Nomads don't spend cash like tourists and that makes them a drain on the economy.

There's been around eight of these posts of 'Digital Nomads' working in Thailand and not one of them bothered to mention that they were breaking the law.
