Comment on Ask HN: Anyone moved outside of the US to bootstrap your business?

Comments

Im currently living in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Low cost of living. Nice relaxed environment for when youre not working.

I was previously living in Australia. Made a decent living from consulting work which may have been one of the reasons the product side of the business didn't do terribly well. Once I was out of the country consulting work got harder to get so I've had to devote more energy to products and that seems to be bearing fruit.

Apartment rent is maybe $300/mth inc net connection, water, electricity. Can get a good thai meal for $1-3. Net connection is pretty quick although the infrastructure is a bit dodgy so there is an outtage probably once a week for generally no more than an hour or two. Dont think Id host here but for your own connection its fine.

I'm currently in Australia and am looking to head to Thailand to extend my runway. Can you offer any advice on how you found your apartment and made the move? Anything you wish you'd known before you landed?

I'm moving to thailand to geoarbitrage in feb/march

How do you plan to make some income there?

i work online, mostly passive income, and it's well over what i need to live there.

I am also thinking about moving to Thailand.
