Cheers :hattip:
I feel like
1) Remote programming and computer science work
2) Passive rent income from west
3) (risky and not my cup of tea) Trading and investing active income
Would be really huge winners in the country because the cost of living is so low but one can earn decent western incomes that support you and more easier. It seems like teaching has become a risky preoccupation regarding job security even though it is so popular. I hoped to learn more and investigate doing that but I wonder what people here think about the current situation. I wonder if schools and jobs will dry up from summer to winter this year.

Many of those sort of people have drug problems, no? Very sad.

1) sexpat
2) deathpat
3) teacher

Make sure you specify which class you’re in on you visa, (on page 3 of the application after the checkbox that asks do you gaf? yes/no). You don’t want you’re death certificate to read “complications from being balls deep in a ladyboy”
When you really shot too much fentanyl. Mom would not be proud.
It’s easiest to just say teacher, as that automatically qualifies you for the other categories.
up to you...

Totally depends on the type of Expat. A Nigerian expat will have a different job than an Expat from Finland.

Having known sexpats in both Cambodia and Thailand, I see very little difference tbh. Both countries are great for sexpats, by all accounts.
