Survey carried out last week amongst tea totalers and those suffering agoraphobia and workaholics.

Well - I do not consider myself a workaholic nor agoraphobic. But that said, for the last 15 years I have lived in Thailand for a couple of month every year. Being away from work for a couple of month, would terminate next to every employment, but combining vacation and work makes it possible and I would welcome the discussed Visa for Digital Nomads, that would make it possible for me to spend even more time in Thailand, while working in my own country (and spend a lot of money in Thailand).

Maybe I’ll have to put Phuket back on my Fhuket list.  I haven’t been to that crapbox in a long time.

'have a holiday while still actively working'
I take it TAT haven't let immigration or the labour office in on their plans for tourists to work without a work permit?

Tea Totaler? You may as well be, as the bars have been shut the last 2 months, and no alcohol in restaurants for last month. Strange that they call this work ie workation, but shy away from the work permit issue.

Agree, 100%

In a survey of TAT employees, TAT concluded that TAT is the best TAT While these "we are number one" surveys are humorous and entertaining, the lack of self awareness is astounding. Honestly and straight forwardness will never be Thailand's forte, but really, in a global pandemic these travel and leisure proclamatioms are getting tedious.

Perhaps ranking in the survey is dependent upon inducements provided ?

[AlexPTY]

would those who for it will be chased by immigration for working without permit?

Corrupt government, laws unfriendly towards foreigners, rampant fraud, and laws prohibiting anyone making negative comments about you-know-who/what, sounds like a perfect place for my next workation! Hint: I am not talking about China .
