Bangkok ranked second best city for Digital nomads.

Bangkok, Thailand has been ranked as the second best city in the world and the best city in Asia to work for digital nomads. Ranked by ‘The Instant Group’, a UK based flexible working solutions provider.

“It is a great honor for Bangkok and Thailand to be recognized in such a way as a city with modernity, connectivity, and affordability. This also helps TAT reach its goal for the ‘2022 Amazing New Chapter campaign to grow the Digital Nomad travel sector” said Mr.Yuthasak Supasorn, TAT Governor.

Why and how is Bangkok ranked as the number 2 best city in the world?
Scoring for the rankings was based on key city factors, with Bangkok scoring highly on affordability, internet speed, weather, transportation and scenery. In a global ranking of 80 cities for digital nomads, Bangkok’s total score is second only to Lisbon, Portugal, and is one of only 2 cities in Asia to feature in the world’s top 10 cities survey, along with Seoul, Korea in 7th place.

Bangkok is a perfect city for digital nomads for the following main reasons:

More than 15,000 high-speed Wi-Fi hotspots
One of the lowest-priced accommodations available globally
Excellent local cuisine and street food
Weather – Sunshine all year round
Natural scenery – Mountains, beaches, forests, and local attractions
Many globally famous Thai cities provide an ideal setup for digital nomads such as Bangkok as well as Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya and Samui.

Digital nomad current situation
Research shows that there are approximately 35 million digital nomads worldwide and predicts that the nomadic workforce is 1 nomad : 3 employees. With the advancement of technology, it complements the remote workplace culture and remote work and by 2035, it is believed that the number could reach one billion.

What are the main concerns of living in Thailand?
To perfect your long-term digital nomad life in Thailand, one most important factor is that you should be able to stay and work in Thailand with the least amount of hassle possible, and one of the most annoying problems is always about a ‘What type of visa should I use?’Of course, it is easy to come to Thailand and stay for 30-60 days, but if you are planning to have Thailand as your main work location for a long time, you will need some other type of visa. Being a digital nomad, you cannot get a business visa (non-immigrant B) as it requires you to be a full-time employee.An education visa also works, but then you have to attend classes you may not want. A volunteer visa is available, but many volunteer visas were issued to a non-existing/created foundation and may cause problems for your future stay due to immigration office restrictions.
