Nomads life is the best life..!!⛱️🌞🧡

[@JooseTheNomad]

Yees😍👩🏽‍💻👨🏼‍💻

[@JetSetJourneys.Podcast]

Absolutely! The nomad life is full of freedom and adventure 🌍✨. There's nothing like exploring new places and embracing the digital lifestyle while discovering new cultures! 🌏

[@treway213]

lol we stayed in the same hotel. There are some really good food spots if you travel a few blocks up... there's also a massage spot in the same direction (opposite direction of the beach). Not so much to do in Krabi other than their island tour, and I forget how many islands we went to. I think it was 5 maybe... one island was called dolphin island

[@JooseTheNomad]

Nice! I hope you enjoyed still🙏🏽 and yes agreed!

[@JetSetJourneys.Podcast]

Sounds like you had an awesome stay! 😄 Krabi's island tours are definitely a highlight, and those hidden food spots are always a treat. Dolphin Island is beautiful

[@SJAAKYT]

What kind of work do you do if you a digital nomad?

[@JooseTheNomad]

Lots of things with social media and content creation. Also some freelancing :)

[@batmanonholiday4477]

@@JooseTheNomad webcam modelling? you' two would do well ;)

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@batmanonholiday4477 hahahaha

[@winthorpetrois]

As I often told my adult women students in Thailand, "freelancing" has a special meaning here. ;-) Freelance photography? Writing?@@JooseTheNomad

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@winthorpetrois yeah not that kind of freelancing😂 photography, social media management, etc.

[@JetSetJourneys.Podcast]

Thailand is still a top spot for digital nomads.

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@JetSetJourneys.Podcast for sure ome of the best!

[@DavidLaurent]

I'm planning to travel to Asia for the first time and would like to stay in one place for about a month. I'll be traveling as a digital nomad. Can you recommend me a good city?🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@JooseTheNomad]

Canggu, Bali is the best for first timers in my opinion😊🙏🏽

[@JetSetJourneys.Podcast]

That’s amazing! For your first time in Asia as a digital nomad, Chiang Mai in Thailand is a top choice-affordable, great WiFi, and a vibrant nomad community. If you're looking for beaches, try Bali or Cebu in the Philippines! 🌍✨

[@Oliver-sd8oz]

Do you use Airbnb for renting in Koh Phangan? Or do you recommend something else?

[@JooseTheNomad]

Yes I used. You can check Airbnb, Agoda, Booking, Facebook, etc.

[@JetSetJourneys.Podcast]

Airbnb can be a great option for Koh Phangan, offering unique stays, but also consider local guesthouses for a more authentic experience! 🌴✨ You’ll find friendly locals and sometimes better deals that let you soak in the island vibe!

[@waynedevonald9335]

Please can u please give me a little advice? I don't qualify 4 a 'Digital Nomad Passport' so do I just enter on a normal 'Tourist Visa?' Much appreciate your advice as slightly confused?x

[@JooseTheNomad]

How long are you going to stay? Tourist visa is easy :) I mean visa on arrival

[@JustMusic75]

So, yes?

[@JooseTheNomad]

It's one of the best :)

[@jaeaguilar6356]

What visa would one “theoretically” obtain to “theoretically” be a digital nomad in Thailand?

[@JooseTheNomad]

It's quite easy to go in with the visa on arrival and then extend it in the immigration office :)

[@ozan4702]

I guess you are not supposed to work in thailand with the visa on arrival, no?

[@JooseTheNomad]

Online work is fine :)

[@sjakievankooten]

200-500 megabytes per second? Or did you mean megabit? 😅

[@WeiFinder]

I island hopped around the South of Thailand for a couple months last (Canadian) winter. Did you by chance get to visit Koh Samui? You don't mention it in the video, but it's really cool and near Koh Phangan

[@JooseTheNomad]

Nice! I haven't been to Samui yet. Was thinking of maybe going there for a month next winter but I love Koh Phangan so much that I'm not sure if Samui would be as nice for me haha

[@WeiFinder]

@@JooseTheNomad I'm in the same situation with Koh Phangan, not sure if I'll like it as much as Koh Samui haha. The sand and water is not perfect like on the Andaman sea side aka South-West TH, but there is tons to visit on Samui, it's easily one of my favourite islands Samui and Phangan are quite close to eachother though, when it's clear out you can see each island just by naked eye... easy ferry ride with AC.. I'll likely visit Phangan in ~5 months

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@WeiFinder yeah what I like about Phangan is that in the north the beaches and water is amazing but it's only like 12 minutes ride to the west where's amazing sunsets, more cafes, gyms, etc. And 10 minutes more to the south where's more markets, Makro, etc. And all the roads are so beautiful surrounded by coconut trees and ocean views. I think it's similar in Samui but longer distances between different areas?

[@WeiFinder]

@@JooseTheNomad A lot of the action happens on the East side of Samui around the Chaweng area, everything there is a 5 min drive away there; Ocean views, street food, massages, beach clubs, fire shows every night. And the entire island has hidden gems like monuments, waterfalls, mountains, 5 star resorts and modern villas, etc. Each island has its vibe, I'm looking forward to experiencing Koh Phangan

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@WeiFinder yeah the different vibe is the thing why I'd wanna try Koh Samui!

[@andrewfrolov893]

There is some useful information in the video and a lot of nice moments. But it is difficult to watch when you are talking so fast and switching scenes every 3-5 seconds. It is difficult to concentrate.

[@wesleyproosdij5457]

Which camera do you use?

[@JooseTheNomad]

iPhone :)

[@keninchicago]

Helmets are important safety gear when riding on a scooter / motorcycle.

[@sidharthmenda5498]

Which city is your favourite to live in Thailand

[@JooseTheNomad]

Koh Phangan or Rawai, Phuket😊

[@JetSetJourneys.Podcast]

Chiang Mai!!!!!

[@destinationawaken]

oohhh have you guys have the shroom shakes in Krabbi??

[@sjakievankooten]

Wow that condo looks sick

[@travisskeans2511]

God I want to be a digital nomad but idk not the smartest.

[@JooseTheNomad]

There's million ways to achieve it and I think anyone can do it as long as you put lot of work into it!

[@leandrofernandes7673]

You don't have to be the smartest. As long as you are willing to learn a skill and offer your skill to someone that needs it you are set for life.

[@JooseTheNomad]
