So many of us work online today and this brings with it many perks, which includes the ability to relocate to anywhere in the world. No longer are we tied to physical locations and there are many reasons to choose the amazing South East Asian country of Thailand. In 2018, more than 30m tourists visited the Land of Smiles, which is a good indication of how popular Thailand has become. 

Here are a few good reasons to consider Thailand when looking to relocate.

Enjoy a tropical year-round climate

Thailand actually has a winter, when temperatures can drop to 18C in December and January, while the summer runs from March to June when temperatures can soar to 40C. The rainy season starts in June and ends at the end of November, but it doesn’t rain all the time, usually just for a few hours in the afternoon. Why suffer sub-zero temperatures when you don’t have to?

Great business opportunities

There are established suppliers of wholesale jewelry in Thailand and you can export to other countries or you could sell from a website. There are many ex-pats who have taken the plunge and relocated from Europe, Scandinavia, and Europe and they have managed to set up their own business here in the Land of Smiles.

Low cost of living

Let’s face it, there aren’t that many places that are cheaper to live in than Thailand and that is one of the main reasons that westerners take the plunge and relocate to South East Asia.  When compared to London or New York, Thailand is a very attractive destination, where you can rent a luxury condo for a couple of hundred dollars, which is pretty amazing.

Great infrastructure

Thailand is no longer the third-world country it once was and digital nomads love Thailand because of the high-speed and low-cost Internet. Even remote areas of the country have good Internet coverage and the roads are better than some countries in Europe, thanks to the efforts of a previous King by the name of Rama V, who had visited Europe in the early 20th century and saw the progress developed nations were making.

Thai cuisine

We’ve all sampled Thai food at some point in our lives and if you love spicy dishes, Thai food is awesome. There are so many exotic fruits in Thailand, we couldn’t possibly name them all in this article, and no matter how long you spend in this enchanting country, you will never tire of the cuisine.

The above are just some of the reasons why so many people choose Thailand, whether for retirement or to start a new life in a tropical paradise. If you have yet to visit Thailand, book a holiday and that will probably lead to a life-long love affair. Check for flight availability and, of course, the entry requirements for visiting Thailand.
