There's a lot to this that you want to analyze carefully, if you haven't already. It's wise to make sure you have an understanding of working remote for a company abroad. For starters, your post isn't clear on if you're going to get a job while abroad, or get a job before moving. Are you aiming to secure work before or after the move? Please make sure you understand the tax considerations. I don't know what country you're from, but Thailand has a glut of change (as usual) going on for taxation and tax residency. I won't speak of anything as certain here; Thailand is notorious for saying one thing on Monday, enacting it on Wednesday, and then backpedaling on Friday. Point being, there is talk now of taxing -all- foreign income (IN ADDITION to the recent changes made), so be aware. Each person's situation may be unique, so it's unwise for me to espouse anything as certain to your particular case without knowing the particulars. Some additional information here may be helpful as your home country may have a DTA with Thailand, and also may be a CRS nation for financial reporting. For whatever company you work for, ensure they allow remote abroad. I will not openly encourage anyone to deviate from their company's policies on this, but will say there are "gray areas" that can be lived in with proper preparations, but with understanding that the risk involved could cost you that job. Wise to check and make sure you're 100% good--to-go with a remote position. Some places allow remote work within a specific geographic region. Whether you ultimately bypass and live in that gray area is up to you. Depending on the type of remote work you find, the data involved may be "geofenced" and not be allowed past certain borders. In the USA there are some restrictions for instance related to healthcare and financial data, and while these are highly-particular circumstances, warrant an understanding of what you're doing. In many cases it's fine but there are some fine-print considerations as far as data movement and storage that can be an offense if handled improperly.

@Luke M A sound plan. I hope you succeed!

There may be a lot to unpack here... To start off, I will say that I've always been finicking with "things." In my younger years I would think I needed something like a dinner table and a nice sofa for my place because that's what my parents had, and that's what normal people had, etc. Over the years I've learned that I don't need such things, and when it came time to move on to a new place, it was an added burden and cost to haul them or store them, etc. I've also been in financial situations due to job loss where I've had to sell everything I've owned. Back in 2011 was such an occasion and I found out that I did just fine with an air mattress after my entire bedroom suite was carried out by people who paid cash so I could stay afloat after not only moving 1000 miles away, but was let go from my position shortly thereafter. Savings only last so long, and job searches aren't always fast. In the above I had to see the things I thought meant something to me vanish, and in the end I not only did just fine, but realized that their only utility to me was in being sold. I never ate dinner at a dinner table, and I really didn't have guests, etc. over to warrant a nice living room setup with sofas, end tables, etc. I was brought up around that stuff and taught to believe it's important to be rooted and have a nice place, nice things, etc. Not flashy per se, but well-built and long lasting, stuff you can keep. That's not such a bad thing, really...it wasn't my mom and dad teaching me materialism, but that if you buy something, make it nice and well-built so it lasts. Not such a bad thing. When it all goes sideways (and sometimes life takes us through some very sharp turns), it's often better to be mobile and agile and able to quickly respond to the immediacy of the situation. Having excess things can pose a burden, but I stress that they "can," not that they "do." Many people do just fine in their situations have roots in a home, with lots of stuff, etc. Some people, and I suspect those types would fit in well in this kind of community, tend to think a little differently.

@Cinthia Racicot-hamelin Anytime, happy to help out. Attachment is a deeply personal and subjective thing, so it's nigh impossible for someone to chime in with a definitive answer. Guidance, suggestions, yes. But answers? Well, that's part of the fun of life: answers are up to you. :) Keep going!

I'll spare everyone the need to read that. Basically: 1). Have a plan and stick to it 2). Build skills and don't chase the next shiny thing, stick to your plan 3). It takes time and resilience. The rest of the article smacks very much of "I did it right and most others didn't." Basically, what Brett has been making videos on, which is what drove most of us to this community to begin with. Whether or not people listen is up to them.

@Geir Bernhardsen Yeah, there's a strong scent of exactly that in the article.

@Tim Coulter I think it’ll work out well for you!

@Felipe Souza Yeah I think so. I tend to be a little more cautious of government moves in general but I think the DTV will be fine, if at least for a while.
