Actually Thai people can do exactly the same.

While from a legal perspective it might be all correct what you're saying, I think that most people simply have more important matters to worry about.

For example, it's also illegal to cross a red traffic light as a pedestrian at 3am in the night on a deserted street. That doesn't mean that it is immoral or that it causes harm to anyone.

And I wouldn't even want to know all the "illegal" things you're doing that you are not even aware of. Just saying.

Not really. Thai people do not easily get a tourist visa for visiting Europe. There's a whole bunch of constraints to keep them out.

My beef is not that you worked illegally in Thailand. It's the fact that you wrote this up, didn't mention the fact that it's not above aboard, which promotes others to emulate you without warning, and published under your own name which is foolish at best and could end up with you being deported at worse.

There's been around eight of these posts of 'Digital Nomads' working in Thailand and not one of them bothered to mention that they were breaking the law.
