Thailand No. 1 Location for Digital Nomads

Thailand No. 1 Location for Digital Nomads

Study by Club Med found that Thailand is the best country in the world for digital nomads. 

As more of us work from home and say goodbye to cramped commutes and limp office plants, the idea of switching home offices for sunshine, lush landscapes and an explosion of culture is becoming increasingly popular.

This desire to roam whilst working remotely has led to a rise in digital nomads - people who travel the world whilst working virtually. That’s why Club Med has created an index of the best places and countries around the world to become a digital nomad.

This data was collected and assessed with the growing demand for the nomadic lifestyle. We consciously put beautiful landscapes before bustling cities to limit and restrict stress, allowing workers to fully embrace the world - the ethos behind digital nomadism.

The top countries in the world to live as a digital nomad

In this study we looked at cost of living, safety, average internet speed, presence of nature and wellness spots, as well as the number of both relaxing and adventurous activities in each country.

In doing so they have allocated each place a total ‘digital nomad score’ which we used to rank both the best countries and the best areas for remote working.

Thailand leads as the world’s top country for digital nomads

Their study found that Thailand is the best country in the world for digital nomads. Shaking off its party island reputation over recent years, the southeast Asian island is now becoming known as a digital nomad’s paradise.

In doing so, Thailand has become a place where visitors can enjoy the serenity of the island, leaving minds as clear as the crystal-coloured waters. Travelling to work in Thailand is a great opportunity for those pursuing life as a digital nomad as other parts of the continent are easily accessible.

From Thailand, flights to neighbouring countries such as Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia and Cambodia (all of which ranked in the top fifteen countries for digital nomads) are relatively cheap and quick. Offering ample opportunities for people to expand their adventures to nearby countries. Those doing so would benefit from sprawling landscapes with many calming activities to enjoy such as mountain trekking, swimming and observing exotic animals in their natural habitats.

 

From tropical islands to leafy suburbs - the top places in the world for digital nomads

As well as looking at the best country, they have also discovered the best places overall for digital nomads to live. From tropical islands to leafy suburbs, no location was out of bounds.

Phuket, Thailand is crowned the best place in the world for digital nomads

They found that Phuket in Thailand is the best place to venture if you’re looking to become a digital nomad. With Thailand being ranked as the best country for digital nomads, it’s no wonder that the beautiful island of Phuket is crowned as the best place overall.

The southern province of Phuket consists of 33 islands, including the largest in Thailand. Alongside 30°C heat, the aesthetic appeal of such a paradise is just one of many factors that helped Phuket earn its title.

As well as scoring highly in terms of safety and internet speed, those travelling to work in the tropical paradise can take advantage of 251 relaxing experiences in the surrounding area. Those searching for more adventurous activities have 750 to explore.

After benefitting from a strong, bustling tourism trade for many years and being the largest exporter of rubber in the world, the Thai government has invested generously in preserving the landscape’s natural beauty.

In doing so, Phuket has become a place where visitors can enjoy the serenity of the island, leaving minds as clear as the waters.
