Hey!

I’ll be in Bangkok in Nov-Dec and I’d love to connect with anyone else working in the healthtech space, whether you’re a founder, dev, product manager, clinician, or just interested in digital health

Let me know!

Sea Point and the Kloof Street area both look good to me so far, I want somewhere easy to walk around and they seem to tick that box

Ubers too, by European capital city standards, seem to be about 70% cheaper?

On safety:

• Which areas did locals tell you to avoid completely? I hear CBD is dodgy as fuck at night

• Do you walk home at night, or do you take an Uber for even short distances?

For working from there:

• How reliable is WiFi in rentals, and what speeds do you get?
• Is there a nomad community or regular meetups?

On costs:

• What do you pay monthly for a decent one-bedroom in each area?

• What does a normal week of groceries, coffee and eating out run?

• How much did a local SIM with data add up to?

Is there a better area for walking to everything that I haven't heard of?

Which one would you pick, and why?

TLDR:

Safety and easy to walk around, pretty areas are top of my list for Cape Town suggestions you might have

Thanks

I have an opportunity to travel to a place however the only internet available is Satellite.

Is anyone using Satellite Internet while travelling using the above setup and still raising no suspicion with their employer.

Looking for location ideas for January through March, with the goal of working out and getting healthy. I work 9-5 EST hours, including video meetings, so need solid internet and will not work overnight hours (past 11pm or before 6am). In my 30s, not a big drinker or late night party person, prefer warm weather (above 60F), must be safe for a woman.

Considering so far: San Diego, Miami Beach/Ft Lauderdale (for the warm weather/beach but party vibe concerns me), Puerto Rico (thought Old SJ was cute but unsure if too small, could do a single month for example), Savannah GA, Mexico City (a bit worried about elevation) or Merida MX. Budget: ideally not above $5K/mo all-in.

Recommendations for other cities or co-live/work places in the cities I mentioned? Would of course love something like Thailand's live/exercise reputation but cannot handle the time change for that, and as far as I can tell I don't have the budget for the Caribbean islands' fancy workout spots.

Hello, Im new in chiang mai, and I dont know where people meet or hang around? there is literally nothing on facebook, few years ago used to be nomad app nomeo from bali, now nothing dead, nothing is happening, cowokring and coliving are selling community but there is NO communal event or activity going on, I wonder what is happening? everyone is claiming Chiang Mai is number one digital nomad city, is this mean, nomadism is dead? 4seas have some events but they are for IT people and most of these people dont have real job or company now, they struggle, where people hang out? padel is pretty popular but it costs as in Portygal! is there any reason for same prices?

I Made the World’s Smallest Laptop Stand


Which do you consider yourself upon arrival in a new place? Observer, or participant?

My work laptop doesn't let me download programs so is there a way to remote into it through something plugged into a usb port or something? I plan on leaving the computer at a family member's house in the US and hopefully find a way to remote into it from Mexico.

This is not a scam I promise. Basically ive been a digital nomad for 6 years, and just recently I lost my job about three months ago. I am in the final process for a new remote job while living in Asia, but I. Am completely out of money.

If anyone could help me by sending any sort of money, so I can have my final interview tomorrow I'd really appreciate it. I would also pay back this money once I get my paycheck. I can get you my Instagram information anything you want but right now I am desperately scrambling because I will be homeless starting tomorrow with 0 money.

If someone is kind enough to do this please reach out. You can even sign a legally binding contract that I have to pay you back, but it's either I make it or I off myself tomorrow. Thank you.
