@kyanztyper@852963HZ@KHAMCHANH Bro, there are around 4 million Burmese in Thailand btw. Is there any country in the world be nice to Burmese than Thailand?
Been thinking about this a lot lately as I'm coming up to 2 years in Bangkok/Thailand (for context I have the DTV visa).
The good:
- Bangkok IMO is still the best spot for bootstrapped founders now (Bali 2nd IMO). More expensive than Vietnam etc so prob no the place to start.
- You get the marriage of affordability but good infrastructure i.e condos, fast internet etc. Some of the most friendly people you'll ever meet.
- Arguably among the best lifestyle i.e food, cultural and nightlife scenes in the world (and beaches nearby).
The not so good:
- It's still a semi-nomadic life i.e you physically have to exit every 6 months and a lot of the people you meet come and go.
- Impossible to have any physical business in the country so rules out a lot of hiring, potential work etc.
- So obviously if you want to build a startup with a in-person team (I do), it's not the place to be. For that way better in places like the US, UK etc.
Overall Bangkok is THE spot for those growing a startup but haven't built a team yet (or want to).
Starting out, Danang etc is better (cost).
Scaling is probably still SF/London (VC).

@Roach_BKK@Rajprasong_News I get your point but to be fair, there are a few airports in the world with more immigration officers than the one in Bangkok. How are they supposed to process 60-70k people per day at the border? It is a border, not a supermarket where you can simply let everyone walk through
