Don’t move to Thailand if you need to make money to live on.
That might be the best advise ever!
Unless you find a job on a full expat salary package, the chance of making enough money to sustain your life here is ridiculously small.
Digital Nomads with serious computer skills might be the only other way to earn enough income?
Thinking you will get by the rest of your life teaching English is foolish and not realistic.
Thinking you are the next great Youtuber? Foolish!
There is also a huge lists of job that are reserved for Thai people only.
New expat businesses fail at an alarming rate.
Can you survive in your home country without earning money?
Of course not!
It is no different here.
Except it is 1000 times easy to find a job in your own country where you can earn enough to pay your bills and get government benefits.
Just getting by paying your bills month to month is not going to sustain you over the course of your life.
It was easy to make money in Thailand, we would not have so many Thai people struggling to pay their own bills.
Personal debt is at an all-time high in Thailand.
Sure, everyone wants to live in Thailand.
But let’s be realistic?
You have to be able to afford it and you simply CANNOT count on Thailand to provide a guaranteed income the rest of your life.
I have no answer to the many people that ask me what can they do to make money in Thailand.
I wish I new for myself!
Sorry, but this is a hard place for all of us.
Tip: Don’t pay any attention to any social media or Youtube video’s that claim to show you how to make money in Thailand.
