April 8, 2009 at 12:02Do you want a coworking in Thailand?
For two and a half years I have been living in this country. All would be nothing, one thing is missing - like-minded people. In this post I decided to find out - how many people are interested in the opportunity to live and work in Thailand, in the coworking center in the north of the country?
Some may suspect something was wrong - if everything is so cool, then the guy probably wants to earn some extra money? Yes, the guy wants to earn some money, but in a slightly different way: productively working in a society of interesting, creative colleagues and like-minded people. Therefore, the enterprise will be completely non-profit, as was originally accepted in coworking (I must admit that even sterile-glamorous interiors of domestic coworking establishments distort me). Therefore, I will not recommend the announcement "come to us to work, the entrance costs so much, photos are attached."
Naturally, if things go well, such an announcement will appear here. In the meantime, I want to collect a “mighty bunch” of people who form the backbone of a coworking center. People who are ready to pack their bags;)
I am ready to offer these people help in:
Naturally, since these people will form the backbone of the community, they are required to be active and willing to sacrifice themselves in all matters relating to the arrangement of the center.
What do you think?
I have a wife, I can’t go to Thailand!
It’s not for nothing that I wrote “the north of Thailand” - these are not beach sex resorts at all. Here, one can say, the intellectual center - many universities, many students. There are even international faculties, which is why there are many young and smart Americans and Europeans.
Moreover: family is even welcome - a family person is more responsible. Because he will come to work, and not hang out at bars, or cafes, or hang all day in a hammock. Well, it’s more interesting for family people to come not to some kind of resort for beach jelly life among the devil, but to a more or less decent city to improve living standards or reduce costs.
I myself have a wife :). Moreover, many friends live here with 1-2 children of completely different ages - from infants to school (students are already going to study in the capital or in developed countries - Australia, Europe, the USA).
What about the passport and visa regime? Do not be dark!
Visa-free entry or visa upon arrival for a month. Through simple manipulations, you can obtain and then extend longer-term visas. People live here for years.
What are the costs of living?
It all depends on you. You can live in a room for 2500 rubles a month and eat local food for 20 rubles. You can live in the palace for thousands of dollars and eat in pathos restaurants. You can choose some intermediate state.
Can I open a bank account, pay taxes? Work?
An account can be opened as an insurer, receive money from anywhere. Work - finding an employer ready to complete all legalization operations. However, in the framework of this topic we are talking primarily about remote work.
Where is it in the north of Thailand?
It is here !
Why might you need this
- Cheap life. The same standard of living can be maintained at a much lower cost. For those who like to stick this word into every article - ok, call it an anti-crisis offer. For those who do not like it - the costs are so much lower that it was more convenient to live here before the crisis.
- Easy life. There is a lot of infrastructure, it is nearby, it is cheap. A bunch of eating places, cafes, markets, entertainment of all kinds. Everything is minutes away by motorcycle.
- Interesting life. This is, firstly, a foreign country, an exotic country. Secondly, there are many interesting, free-thinking people from around the world. There are many ways to spend time actively, creatively, etc.
- Colorful life. Which is better - to work in the former factory floor, or a beautiful tropical garden? I suggest the second!
