The Life of a Digital Nomad in Thailand | Wendy's Story

I interview Wendy Kier who is a digital nomad in Thailand. She tells us about her life and the online business she has developed as the result of her life experiences. Wendy is also writing a book about her life and she has just started a KZbin Channel (link below). Wendy is well travelled in Thailand and currently lives on the beautiful island of Koh Chang. In this interview she tells us why she decided to live on Koh Chang rather than the other Thai islands.
Wendy's life story is really fascinating and is a testament that we can all overcome trauma in our lives. It was a pleasure to have done this interview with Wendy.
Perhaps you might consider moving to Koh Chang now that Thailand is set to reopen to tourists with no quarantine in November.

So inspiring to know Wendy’s life is so positive now.

[@philm7213]

What an amazing woman. Will look out for her next time i'm there.

[@jimmyboysmovies1972]

What a humbling and inspirational vlog Pete , Wendy has done so well to break the cycle of trauma that she experienced in her life . He honesty is so moving . She truly deserves what she has worked so hard for. Wendy is very happy on the island . I will check out her channel. The cats made me laugh and at the end Pete where you made the crack about your channel shows how relaxed Wendy was as she laughed with you too great interview 👏👏

[@ThairishTimes]

Cheers Jimmy, Wendy is a really cool person. We had a great chat off camera. As you know I do like a laugh when we do the interviews and it’s always a laugh having to do the whole “hit the subscribe button” lark lol

Thank you ❤️ I had an awesome experience... Not an easy thing to do with a sensitive subject. Xx

Amazing interview Pete, thank you for shining light on Wendy who has a wonderful story and a beautiful soul. Chai is the king pf informal interviews and you are the king of the formal ones! Awesome! 😎

[@ThairishTimes]

You're very welcome, haha thanks for the great compliment

[@LIVINGLIFETRAUMAFREE]

Thank you xx

[@jdavies212msu]

Pete, you really shine at being an excellent interviewer. You show genuine interest in your interview subjects and ask insightful, leading questions that can really get them to talking. Then you just listen without interrupting. Perfect technique. And as usual, you’ve really got the knack for ferreting out fascinating people with great and unique stories to tell. Keep up the good work! I’m hooked & subscribed!

[@ThairishTimes]

Thank you very much. I really enjoy a good story and I really enjoy finding and researching them. I don’t believe a good story needs to be interrupted. I just guide the storyteller down a particular path and sometimes (like in this case)I just let it flow. Glad you like it mate, more to come. The search begins again

[@jpmillet651]

Just happen to open your blog, really enjoy everything you do , I have a history of Thai life and miss it, keep up the good works.

[@ThairishTimes]

Thanks very much Niall. Wendy’s story was very touching

[@tman5634]

Excellent interview Pete. Huge respect to Wendy for her frankness & what she's overcome. I can relate to her in many ways. It seems Koh Chang is a place of special retreat for some expats...& it's no wonder, given it's beauty, nature & relaxing vibe. All the very best to Wendy. Worcester in Worcestershire, is located on the edge of the Malvern Hills & Countryside, an area known for it's outstanding beauty.

[@LIVINGLIFETRAUMAFREE]

Thank you T Mann, I appreciate you kind words. Wx

Well put T Man. I think there's a magic about the place that keeps people there. I just had a look at Worcester online, the area looks stunning

@@LIVINGLIFETRAUMAFREE You're welcome Wendy, As I say, I can relate to you in many ways. P.s I'm a friend of Pete's. I see that your YT channel/group is aimed at women. If you'll also aim it for men, i'll follow & perhaps get involved.

Really enjoyed that Pete👍 Getting people to open up about personal issues is not easy. Depending on who is doing the interview, they may allow themselves to drop down their guard and feel comfortable enough to talk about those kinds of issues. Great job 👍👍

[@LIVINGLIFETRAUMAFREE]

He is a great interviewer and I really love the quality of the video work and effort that is put in.

Good interview mate I can relate to some points of that from Wendy. Keep them coming in.

Another great vid Pete. Always enjoy your interviews. Did you visit Rasta before or after you filmed this one?

[@ThairishTimes]

Thanks Dion, I saw your friend who was bitten by the monkey in Koh Chang lol

[@DNorman]

@@ThairishTimes Great that you met Murray. They are living the life - been staying at Tranquility since May and no plans to leave soon. I miss Koh Chang. Need to get back there. Her talking about it really made me miss the chilled life there.

Incredible. Everyone has a back catalogue. But Wendy's was traumatic. Best wishes to her.

[@ThairishTimes]

She’s a very nice lady

[@SimosThailand]

Cool interview Pete. With much of the western world having worked from home since the pandemic started, have you come across anyone how’s gone to Thailand and remotely continues their old job? So, the remote worker over the independent digital nomad. Take care man 👍🏻😎🙏

[@ThairishTimes]

Not yet Simo, but that sure would be an interesting story. I’ll keep my eyes peeled. Thanks for watching and planting the idea in my brain

[@SimosThailand]

@@ThairishTimes definitely would be interesting, the situation has planted that idea of long distance remote working in everyone’s minds - plenty of people in England have moved away from cities in the past year, getting more home for their money and kitting out an office plus many companies staying with working from home as a long term policy. So the idea of doing it from another country is in many peoples mind. 👍🏻

[@LIVINGLIFETRAUMAFREE]

Great question!

[@alcatel3669]

The cat looks perplexed like "WTF is going on here??!!!"

[@ThairishTimes]

Yeah “who are these humans and why am I being attacked by this black cat?l 😂

Talk about emotional trauma

[@ThairishTimes]

Thanks Jim, much appreciated. I try to listen more than talk when doing an interview

Whats your thoughts on Koh Samet? I never went to Koh Chang because Samet is closer to Bangkok.. Koh Chang looks nice

I prefer Koh Chang, first the island is a lot bigger so there's way more to explore and overall it's cheaper than Samet too

It's very hard to heal trauma. Meditation and Psychotherapy can be helpful but they may not be able to heal it totally. Acupuncture can also be useful. Drugs in certain cases may be necessary.

She’s a survivor, wow. Fascinating story , but terrible experiences in her youth.

[@masterofthecranium]

Great interview, not what I expected from the thumbnail and title! Very brave woman. Again had issues with the vain interviewer flashing his guns. Next he'll be cutting the sleeves off the dub Jersey for the double whammy and i'll have to unsubscibe. 😄 Another solid interview, thanks, much appreciate the work

[@ThairishTimes]

not your typical digital nomad story I suppose. What I liked about Wendy's story is that even after the trauma she's experienced in her life she's able to turn a negative into a positive and earn a living helping others as a result of these experiences. I'll be cutting the sleeves off the old one when I get a new one sent over 😂😂

[@masterofthecranium]

@@ThairishTimes Yea, seems like a bit of a legend altogether, fair play to her. Here, while you're chopping off the sleeves of the old one be sure chop the rest of it up to up too yea? 😄 obviously messin.

[@ThairishTimes]

@masterofthecranium I am appalled 😉

[@gertdrok]

Not so interesting for me. To soft Lady talk. I like to hear about how to live, how to do everything practically. The cost, the house/rent etc… But that’s my opinion Pete. I like your interviews. 🙏

[@ThairishTimes]

No problem Gert. I found Wendy’s story interesting. I thought it would be nice to hear a lady’s story
