I seen this video recently "debunking" all these influencers that make videos where they say they're living in Thailand and working remotely as some "escape the matrix" type grift. Most of the people they showed had only spent a few months in Thailand and things didn't really work out, they wasted their money and went back home then make content larping as successful. Other lied about their prior wealth and their connections they already had in Thailand pretending to be some poor person who took a risk and made it when it's more like their parents are paying their rent etc. Thailand is probably great if you avoid the luxury lifestyle trap those influencers promote and actually learn the language.
