Running Ebay Businesses from Thailand etc
We have recently been working on a business buying on Vinted and charity shops and selling on ebay here in the UK. We have been discussing how we could transfer this business abroad to somewhere like Thailand? Singapore appealed to us a lot but the enormous cost of rent etc isn't fun, I dont want to be panicking about rent prices if we move abroad. It seems like all countries have very difficult visa situations if you actually want to stay long term in one country, except Thailand and Philippines. It's easy if you are truly digital nomad because you can just move around. We keep coming back to Thailand in our research. I wondered if anyone could tell me what the postal / fedex situation is like in Thailand please from the major area like Koh Samui, Hua Hin, Krabi? If I were to start another Thai Ebay business would this fall under the job that could be done by a Thai person situation? It's a grey area I think because its not literally taking away a job from a Thai but it would involve some kind of physical activity within Thailand. Also where are good places to pick up cheap (not fake) stock in Thailand to resell online? In light of the above we are considering living in Cornwall UK (one of the last bastions of the UK) permanently and continuing to run the business from there but taking 1 x 6 week trip a year to places like Thailand. At least for the time being. Over Christmas and January. Has anybody had any experience within anything like this? Many thanks.

Here's the PROBLEM with Westerners Coming to Thailand
Just saw a Western couple walking their Dalmatian up a Thai street, and it got me thinking... Why do so many expats move to Thailand only to live in a bubble? They rent big houses, buy cars, and even import their cats and dogs. Once they're here, they don't bother to learn the language and exist in this sort bubble, completely detached from Thai society. They're literally here just for the low cost of living... ...and I'm surprised the Thais put up with it. These people think and act as if they're still in the United States. They bring their rude behaviour and expect the Thais to adapt to their cultural norms. They're so clueless that they don't even process that this is an entirely different culture and that they are looked upon like complete fucking weirdos. Then they have the nerve to complain about how they feel outcast and want to know why the Thai people won't grant them easy access to citizenship, etc. Truth be told, they have zero fucking interest in becoming Thai; all they're thinking is 'save money, save money, save money. Ponce, ponce, ponce. It's quite sickening really. These two cultures are vastly different in almost every single way and this isn't just annoying... It's a problem. It affects everyone who has made an effort to integrate, those who have married into Thai society, had families, etc. Because every foreigner gets lumped in with these leeches.

Vietnam - an update
My wife and I have been in Da Nang for a week now, and I just wanted to give some input on what we've experienced in Vietnam so far. First off, we booked a hotel from South Africa, b&b, and that worked out about $400 for 20 nights! Crazy cheap and.very, vety good. We were told to budget up to $100 a day for spends and tbh, you would struggle to spend that. Ok, if you go to the most expensive seafood restaurants and act like a crazy tourist you could spend way more, obviously. Taking it relatively sensibly, the cost of living is very affordable. The people are great and so refreshingly honest. To a certain extent, they don't even understand tipping, let alone ask for one! The weather has been exceptionally hot, so aircon is a must. If we were to live here, our cost of living.would be very affordable. Just throwing it in the mix for digital nomads, definitely worth a look 😀
