[@joshuachad]

Daneger and Stacey , my question is how do you two still looking so fabulous after travelling and editing your vlogs for so long? I’m betting odds the two of you don’t get enough sleep at all! Haha!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha we don't get enough sleep, we definitely work too much, but we always TRY and make the effort to look after ourselves :P

[@Mr-Benn-1970s]

Have you thought of setting up a paypal account for contributions as an alternative to Patreon? I would happily switch my monthly payment from P to PP and it would I think result in you getting more of it as it would save the cut P takes. Just a thought.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yeah that's an interesting one, Patreon does take a decent cut, think we end up with about 80% or so. We do have a few people who make one off payments to our PayPal at [e-mail] but they're less interested in the community element from Patreon. In saying that, most of our chats are in the Facebook group anyway so the middle man/commission element in the middle isn't even relevant actually!

[@Mr-Benn-1970s]

I don't "do" Facebook (I know I'm in an increasing minority). I'll check out your link and probably switch from Patreon once they have taken my February payment to you so don't be offended if I drop off your P list! How is the book progressing btw?

[@musicjunky91]

A typical day in the life of a digital nomad looks so much more appealing than working a regular 9 to 5 office job. Definitely hope to be apart of the lifestyle one day. Thanks for sharing!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Have to be honest with you and say it's a LOT better - we smile and appreciate every day. Hope you can be location independant one day as well, incredibly rewarding way of life. Our book will help piece it all together if you're interested in learning more.... danegerandstacey.com

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Wow! One Nimman looks awesome. Can’t wait to check it out when we get back.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

It's crazy now mate, ridiculously flash in there. If you want a 650 baht haircut that's your place haha

[@TravellersRelish]

One thing I completely love about this is the laptop stand. How we didn't know about it is a mystery. It saves alot of discomfort. Your day in the life is super chill love it

[@GustheStruggleBus]

Really cool behind-the-scenes view of what your day-to-day life looks like! And all that food looks amazing!!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks :) Ah the Thai food is the best!

[@KimCrossesBorders]

I am about to embark on my digital nomad journey and love seeing what people's routine is in advance because I am feeling a little bit scattered. Good video y'all!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Wishing you all the best!! Just uploaded a cost of living comparison that might be helpful for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIq0ZWmtlr5opbs

[@Jim-ub9qy]

Just catching up on a few of your past videos. Loved it! Thanks so much for suggestions, references, etc. You are both so relaxed in front of the lens and it always comes across natural and great. I really enjoy your video/photography insertions such as the fan, lighting and even something as simple as the floor designs. They certainly add to the quality of your vlogs. You are both very enjoyable and I always look forward to my next adventure in the life of Daneger and Stacey. All the best.

[@miketune3489]

Love your videos !! Contemplating relocating from America to Chiang Mai, I have to be honest it’s your videos that are making me want to do just that ! So beautiful and so reasonably priced. A little slice of paradise.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

stoked to hear that, Mike. Just keep in mind it's apparently a little more expensive now already

[@lemonchicken507]

The girlfriend and I are gonna head over next year in March to have a crack at this lifestyle! Super excited! Thanks for posting these videos!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Good stuff, you guys will love it if you crack the online income and have the freedom created. Can tell you it's a special feeling we hope everyone can experience! Our book would help massively if you're interested, no over the top sales pitch, but it's everything we know and wish we knew before startig

[@AN-nq6wi]

Thanks guys, I'm an entrepreneur new to the nomad scene - def ordering that stand! Solid video. Cheers

[@DanegerAndStacey]

You won't regret it, we still have ours today - 2 years+ and going strong

[@nomadman1110]

I love how you actually showed the downtime/behind the scenes looks like. Not just the cut and polished scenes of exciting stuff! :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks - we got lots of good feedback on this one. Will make this a staple in all the countries we visit.

[@nomadman1110]

Daneger and Stacey nice! Btw are you both based in nz? Noticed your accents sound a hell of a lot like mine haha.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We're from NZ. Been travelling and filming for a year in Asia - soon to be Europe as well.

[@nomadman1110]

Daneger and Stacey that’s awesome! Great to see some kiwis doing some epic sustainable travel and doing some awesome vlogs along the way! Something I’m wanting to get into for sure!

[@nomadman1110]

Can I ask what work you do on the go to sustain travel? I’m a teacher by trade, looking into the possibility of teaching English overseas for blocks of time.

[@vidyanair123]

Congrats on 20K Subs!!! And on the engagement!!! Exciting times! SO happy for you two!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

THANK YOU! First person to officially say congrats on the 20k on KZbin :))

[@dodgechargerrt1873]

I have watched this video 5 times since the weekend...I really miss living there and you both make me remember it all so well...Thank Dane and Stace🤗🤗🤗

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We miss Chiang Mai too 💔The fooooood, the people, the coffee, the lifestyle! Hopefully we can all get back there someday 😁

[@itzlaton4082]

Loved this style of vlog! You should do more of em. Try showing us what the walking streets and other activities are like as well. Im sure We'd love to see those

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks - seems like this style of sharing a day went down well! WIll keep doing them as we move around other places.

[@AprilandRafa]

D&S.. Visiting Chiang Mai soon. Loved how real the vlog was. Cant all be exciting 24/7.. What neighborhood were you staying at? How much was the rental? Keep the vlogs coming. Love them.

[@abouttime7410]

What's the problem with the water in Chiang Mai (or Thailand in general)? It seems every video I see that mentions water, or Buying bottled water or filling your water bottles drives this point home! The coffee shops must have some type of good water filtration, or the'd go broke making coffee with bottled water. Thinking about checking out the water filters reviewed on the Sootch (Sensible Prepper) channel for a good one to bring with me.

[@meyyappanmuthuraman4763]

You guys are awesome, there is a lot of chemistry between you two. Great video by the way.

[@sarikilpiainen6609]

I can't believe this 😂 just randomly ended up watching your old CM vlog and guess what! Me and my BF left that coin mug on top of the water filler. So my handwriting is on your vlog 😄

[@DanegerAndStacey]

NO WAY! We love it when this kind of thing happens 😂

[@marieranson]

Great vid guys. I’ll be in CM May-Dec to live and work so it’s really great to hear all of your tips and see what day to day life is like. Thank you :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Excited for you Marie - Chiang Mai is awesome, you'll love it!

[@stevetravese3718]

Why u choosed CM?

[@piotrsobczyk1023]

Thank you guys for mentally transporting us back to Nimman, Chiang Mai where we spent fabulous 3 months working remotely. We shared some of your daily routines and I think we ever rented an apartment in the same condo (Palm Springs) :D. Each of our "normal" days (with work and routines) felt like holidays. There was so many great places to discover around Chiang Mai that our stay was too short. Graph cafe and Ristr8to were our favourite spots to hang around :D. We really start to miss it all, being stuck in COVID-struck Poland during winter =( . Cheers!

[@Sirjohnny]

thank you for sharing your day, and glad to see you having fun

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Cheers man

[@Sirjohnny]

@@DanegerAndStacey We plan to live in Thailand for a while in about a year from now

[@raulmspeixoto]

You guys are so fun to watch, thank you so much.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks Raul! loads more to come.

[@AbroadHub]

Many thanks for these wonderful tips, very inspirational, thanks! 👍😊🙏

[@DanegerAndStacey]

No worries

[@razvanilin]

Great video! I'm planning a 6-months stay in Chiang Mai soon, maybe I'll see you there :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Enjoy!

[@jameswesthart5873]

Great videos. I'm sort of new to your channel and having watched several of your Bali videos am now interested in your nomad life in Thailand. It all seems a bit costly to me, by Asian standards that is. I actually lived in Thailand back in 1987 and 1988. Been back quite a few times throughout the years but not so recently. Is $700 the norm for a decent apartment in Chiang Mai now? Seems a bit dear to me. I'm sure you have been asked this before and maybe you have elaborated on it in previous videos but I'm curious as to what you do to earn enough to cover expenses while abroad. I'm retired now and am considering possibly a year gypsying around South East Asia once again. Just trying to get an understanding of how much it's going to cost. Your videos are giving me some insight on cost of living comfortably. I must say, in the old days it was far less expensive but then again, nothing stays the same. P.S. Have you been to Myanmar (Burma as we prefer)? My wife is from there and we have a home on the outskirts of Rangoon. Burma isn't so expensive but the long stay visa is a bit more tricky? Anyway, cheers and thanks for the great information.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hey James - we discuss a bit more in our latest day in the life vid, just went live a few hours ago. Stacey is a designerr, these days our travel content is our other income stream (made up of about 10 different streams) but it wasn't back in this video. $700 is high for CM, if you don't want to be central or modern it can be a lot cheaper.

[@AlexLancuba]

Thank you for the link to the lap top stand. Absolutely buying one.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

They're game changing. Had ours for close to 3 years (the cheaper one as well!) and no issues.

[@ginawilliams8338]

This post was RAD! We're about to do the digital nomad thing for the first time on Friday for a month, or so in Thailand. So, some great tips! :) Definitely going to get a laptop stand. Do you recommend getting from duty free, or just on the ground?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Glad it was helpful :) Our next upload is actually our Chiang Mai cost of living, will help you guys a lot. Really tough to get the laptops on the ground here, best to snap it up before you leave: geni.us/nexstand

[@iannissisimo]

Went to ChiangMai September last year. Lovely place. Your video made me think to go back to place real soon. 🤔

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Definitely a cool place! One of our favs as well.

[@Dream331]

I love these day in the life's! They're actually very relaxing to watch and you get a real sense of an average day. Seems like it was somewhat overcast so that makes it even more chill, especially on video.. Enjoyed it very much! :-) Peace!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Good to know! Think we might have to keep doing these in places when we're settled for a bit longer!

[@Dream331]

Most definitely! Just like those moments in Hoi Ann. Those felt like day in the life vlogs and I still revisit them. Definitely my some of my favorite moments of your journey. By the way, upon this second viewing of this video, seems like your coffee cost more than the meal you had? Hahahaa. Which would you rather have, coffee or a meal? 😂🤩✌🏽 Catch ya in the comments! Haha 😁

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yeah thats actually a really good point - Hoi An we filmed a little bit more like 'let's take a camera and we're going out' but we did less of that in CM for sure. Especially this time because we sort of did that 6 months ago and didnt want to create boring stuff... good reminder though that day-to-day stuff is interesting as well, thanks again! Haha we love coffee, but food is life!

[@yecartt]

I really enjoyed this vlog! Would love to see more vids like these

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Had lots of that feedback actually - reminds us that we don't always have to be doing some crazy excursion or activity in every vlog. Might try and make this a staple for other places we slow travel to!

[@katrinawood9877]

Great video guys! My question to you both is how long do you generally stay in one place at a time? Also what makes you go somewhere else? Research or just interest? 🙂

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks Katrina - haven't had that question actually, on the list!

[@Mr-Benn-1970s]

An interesting video - well made as always. Haven't seen much drone footage from you recently Dane. Do you still have it?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks Phil! Haha well Thailand has really strict drone policies, you have to register the lil guy and we didnt - decided against taking the risk.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hey Phil - update for you, just had our first flight in a while in Bali and she still runs great! Good to get a flight in again.

[@thecoldestgadget]

I've been thinking about vlogging recently and I love your videos. What camera do you guys use? It's great.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hey - recently upgraded to this: Amazon, Main Camera - amzn.to/2EL12sy Reply ·

[@SettleinAbroad]

Love it. Solid info, thanks!

[@thorbreidfjord-island]

Very helpful and useful. Many thanks.

[@guangshengting1677]

Thanks for the video, I really like it & the contents as well!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@baptistelauret9425]

Hey guys! What gym do you guys go to? It looks cool and it's affordable compared to the one in Maya ..! Thanks! Great videos, keep it up!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

haha Maya gym is new so really over priced huh! This is Golds Hillside Gym

[@InsideOurSuitcase]

Thanks for sharing guys. We've spent a lot of time in the south of Thailand - currently in Bangkok but need to visit Chiang Mai soon. We've heard so many great things about this part of the country, especially for nomads! We're looking forward to the Q+A :-) Here's to the road to 20k!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Theres probably nice spots in Bangkok we don't know about, but CM wins for us by a loooooong way, You guys will likely enjoy it as well!

[@InsideOurSuitcase]

Oh yeah, it's a concrete jungle alright ;-)

[@rickiepenny1511]

Loved it! Really want to see more of your daily life in CM.

[@garret4466]

Looks like a great day! How bad is the burning season this year? We are going to be there in a couple of weeks and that’s one of my worries. 😬

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Cheers Garrett... sorry to say mate, but there was definitely a noticeable dry element and dustiness going on when we left the other day. Burning season is well and truly there already.

[@garret4466]

Daneger and Stacey dang! Oh well, just gonna have to pack some dust masks 😷

[@PocketTrailblazer]

It's so great that you guys really show the level of self motivation you need to do what you do! Loving your work! Totally love Chiang Mai, such a great place to live ;-)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks Charlie! If we hadn't finished the video at dinner we also would have shown the few hours working back at home haha. CM is awesome huh! Hope you guys are well x

[@bencuraza5045]

Enjoy Both video types Day in the Life of D. and S. Travel Vlogs. Your screen interaction.personality presence along with Great content so Enjoyable. Continue to Share :) Thank you !!!!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks! We're not stopping anytime soon... new video will be live later today.

[@Novoxify]

Great vids, keep’em coming.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks again!

[@davemestecky5049]

That food hall looks awesome!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Definitely is - clean and modern with good food. A bit more expensive though than a street vendor or local shop.

[@josephhapp9]

Spot on,,,always love your VLOGS.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks mate!

[@Kymela]

Love this kind of video! And I'm always so amazed seeing how much things cost in Asia! Meal for two for $3.5? Yes please! 😍

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks Kym! Hells to the yeah, Thailand is incredible for price. We're in Bali now and it's not as good.... dreaming of eating this meal again and its only days later haha.

[@NomadicFlavors]

New Subscriber! Q: When you decided to become a Digital Nomad, how much money did you first have when you first arrived in Thailand? Just trying to get an idea on how much I need to save. Great video and can't to check out more of them 🌎

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Best approach is to start some sort of online earnings before you leave, a proof of concept that you can do it. Then when you quit your job you now have 24 hours in the day to grow that online income with one focus. We sold loads of stuff to get about $5k or so and had other savings, but followed the above method to make sure we didnt need to use it much to begin with.

[@NomadicFlavors]

Daneger and Stacey I'm looking to go to Thailand for 6-12+ months and looking to do the whole DN thing. I'm thinking I'll be coming with around $7k. Do you believe that is good enough and also what type of budget do would you recommend, $20-50 a day?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Excluding accommodation, you could spend $10 on food in a day and be fine. If you want to do more, then $30 would be enough to account for some highs and lows with activities and all sorts. We've just filmed another cost of living video for CM going up next week, that will help!

[@NomadicFlavors]

Daneger and Stacey I'll definitely keep a look out.

[@joshuachad]

Ahhhh, the joys of travelling and vlogging! A bientôt en Bali! What? You were expecting more comments from me? Next one, I promise...

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Don't always expect a killer comment, you're safe. Thats like when you buy a great birthday gift, the standards get so high every year... but in your case it's 2-3 times a week. Ya can't perform under those conditions!

[@joshuachad]

Daneger and Stacey , you’re right, I am having a manic week in the office and my brain is on lockdown at the moment, hehe!

[@DeathByVlog]

This is like my average day here in Philly. Well, minus the beautiful beaches and scenery that is. 😂

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha thats the one thing missing in CM, needs a beach... but then everyone would come and the price would sky rocket.

[@SolmadridVazquez]

Crazy, I didn't know there was a food court there. Will check it out.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

The One Nimman area has been open for a while now but think the food court just opened up a few weeks back.

[@leilahellier4276]

I enjoyed watching your day in the life video very nice, can you tell me the name of that new place that has just opened up at the end of the video please

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thank you :) Its called One Nimman.

[@dyonweug5593]

Cool channel bro! Soms good inspiration for our upcoming world trip!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Cheers guys! Enjoy your trip

[@dyonweug5593]

Thanks! If i may ask: you’re referring to different types of income besides youtube somewhere in the comments below. Could you name some? We actually have quite some contacts in media but are still strugling to our approach.. like partnership with one medium or many, choise between vlogs/blogs, promotion of content etc. Many thanks in adcance!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Our advice is don’t go into blogs or vlogs to make money, the ROI is horrendous until you reach probably double our channels size. Everything you need is in our book, it’s just not live yet. Ecommerce, Amazon FBA, teaching English online, transcribing, coaching or all some quick Googles for you. But ultimately the best approach is freelancing with a skill, approaching businesses and working remotely.

[@dyonweug5593]

Ah tank you some much for your answer! Some never came to our attention. Will check your channel out in more detail this weekend when we have some more time. Freelancing in both our job fields would indeed be possible (very time consuming though). So many thanks and curious about the book! Cheers

[@mariah9024]

Coffee slow mo on fleeek 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Chur to the chur 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@steveostermeier]

What gym do you use nearby? Spent the last 2 days apartment hunting and seeing what pools and gyms are available. Ill be in almost the exact same area for the next month. Unfortunately not the palm springs

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Golds Hillside Gym - thats the best spot to go!

[@steveostermeier]

Have you tried the Harris fitness centre. Or the other one in the mall near by?those were the 2 I found today. I'll look Into gold's for sure.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Didnt go to Harris sorry. The only one in the mall we know is Maxx and thats way over priced

[@jamespalaiologos7223]

Bros, I’m in love with your content :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yeeeeooow, thanks James!

[@katrinawood9877]

Hey Dane and Stacey, could you give me the street name of the “lips “ restaurant as we are flying out their tomorrow? Thank you! Looks so good and cheap! 🙂

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hey - probably best to map to Roastinyom cafe, look towards the 7-11 and you'll see those big beautiful lips haha

[@katrinawood9877]

Daneger and Stacey haha 😂 thank you guys! 💋

[@MJ-jc8sd]

Can I experience that kind of life? I think digital nomad life can be realized If someone has skills about programing, online marketing,, ETC. Im working as an accountant, so Im wondering if I can be a digital nomad.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Of course you can - accountants have a very specialised skill. You could offer that skill as a freelance accountant, you could create content on doing your own accounts, run a course about accounting or the value of money, publish books etc - it's not just for developers. We go through the full process and steps to show how you can turn your job into a digital asset: danegerandstacey.com/travel-full-time/

[@louisparcell]

Loved this video!! I’m so keen to see more :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Good to know, thanks so much! Seems like lots of people enjoyed this style a lot.

[@jameslittle3931]

Coffee workout food just a normal day.Question do you pay your bills at 7 11 herd you can do that like electricity you know whatever is not covered in the rent?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yup - just a typical day of grind and hustle! Only bill we have is our phones and that’s direct. Water and power we pay to Palm Springs easily.

[@DivertLiving]

Wow thats a killer deal for 110 Baht! Great find! The stands are nice especially because it lets your laptop get a lot more air! I just don't know if i could see myself carrying a keyboard around!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

The stands are life!

[@edwardvictors8743]

Ah! What a life you guys live? 💑👪

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We LOVE it.

[@stevetravese3718]

I dont know reporters and anchormen dont have these kind of harsh voice.... simple to make hearing interesting.

[@firesome11]

difference between bgc or Makati in the Philippines and Chiang Mai?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Ooooh thats tough. BGC is better than Makati, so it's BGC vs CM really..... hhhhmm we love both. CM wins for us though, mostly because of the ease of things, the food and the low cost.

[@borderreiver3288]

would be nice to travel but just how do you finance all these trips if you are not working...

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We work online, anywhere we have internet access we can work

[@mixnmichael1]

Looks like they've upgraded that gym a bit.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

They have - few new machines there and recently put in some new matting as well. Still rocking the golf balls tho haha

[@mixnmichael1]

Is that new building near the Maya Mall? The place you ate at with brick?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yeah just opposite the mall

[@dutchking7293]

So why the coffee shop, no wifi in your place?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Great wifi in our place, we just like to mix it up, change the scenery, get a good coffee and just get out.

[@MultiNewhorizons]

What's the name of the last place you visited. The "kind of" new mall.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Nimman One

[@melaimoncatar]

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Love it!

[@oneeyedjack2254]

Gives you an idea of just how expensive 💲💲food can be here in the U.S.. I think the two of you spent all of $7 for two meals, you would be lucky to get a meal at McDonald's much less a regular restaurant, here in L.A. for one at that price. 😎👁🕵️‍♂️

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That's just insane when you think about it! Shows you how escaping that way of life can reduce costs so much!

[@catherinetims2794]

How much $ is the gym?

[@SportsIncorporated]

Get a good air cleaner for your apartment. One with a HEPA and chemical filter. And then sell it to the next guy. You won't realize the damage being done to your lungs till years later.

[@tishaelauren]

I want to do all this with a baby. Wonder if it’s possible. I work remotely but am pregnant now. But I gotta travel!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Definitely is - once you earn your dollars online you (and bubs) can travel anywhere

[@traviscr0ss15]

How much is the rent at your place?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We've got a couple of videos on apartment hunting and our accom costs and tours - have a dig around in our Chiang Mai vids

[@nomadglobal8551]

you're fantastic all you make me smile just looking at you ... you and I could break everything believe me!😂😂😂😂😂😂 🤛

[@DanegerAndStacey]

So nice - thank you so much!

[@dana_thetutor]

You know about Chiangmai more than local like me 😂

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hahaha that’s funny!

[@bugeyemonster]

ouch 150 baht for coffee that is crazy expensive

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yeah pretty rough, that was for 2 though

[@BrendaBenoit]

I like your life!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks Brenda, we're pretty fortunate.

[@86Corvus]

5 bucks for two coffees thats not cheap considering you could just work at home and i think that would be more efficient and convenient

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Very true. We did that 70% of the time but gotta mix things up

I am still unsure of how there are 1,000s of digital nomads in Chiang Mai. What kind of work can 1,000s do? A big thing stateside is people doing call center stuff from their homes. Which I can't see people doing from coffee shops. Creating content for other companies. small companies, I can see that. But big companies use agencies or their own people to create websites, etc. We really enjoy all of your videos. But we watch them for travel info. I am close to retirement. We were going to buy a place overseas. Decided against that in favor of living in place for 3 months, or so. We won't sell all of stuff, as we want a home base. Some of the apts, that you rented are perfect for us "nomadic retirees". I have no desire to be a retiree in a motor home. LOL.

Thanks for the comment! We like your plan, pretty sure we'll still be doing the same later in life as well but the motor home is definitely for a small trip only - not long term haha! Re Nomads - everything is online now, call centres etc is in the 9-5 mindset. Think of the ads you see online for ecommerce stores, who's the designer who made the ads? Who's the person running the ecommerce store? Whos the advertising specialist that runs the ads for the owner? They're all sitting in a coffee shop somewhere. Teaching english online, creating content, selling on Amazon, simply working remotely, SEO, blogging and more... all are just done via the internet. No need for an office.

OMG, honestly. If you are worried about the cost of a coffee, don’t come here. You are getting bad advice. Chiang Mai is not cheap. This is not the Philippines. Yes, many back-packers in Nimman. They ruin this place. If you don’t have a viable business, don’t come here. It doesn’t take long to go from a no direction no-mad to homeless.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Why so mad bruh? We didnt complain about a coffee, I think you might have forgotten that most people watching content on Chiang Mai are curious to see if their budget can work, if they should visit, what life is like, is it achievable... a video like this shows them the real. Which in reality is that places like this coffee shop are expensive in comparison to local spots and people need to know that.
