    My Pros and Cons of Living in Thailand (3 month Review)

    Moving to Thailand has been a life-changing experience. I’ve uncovered some incredible opportunities and unique challenges that come with living in one of the most visited countries in the world. From its affordability to its thriving expat communities, I share my perspective on what makes Thailand an attractive place for digital nomads and what areas can be a bit tricky to navigate. Key Takeaways: Affordability is a Double-Edged Sword Thailand offers incredible value for money in terms of housing, food, and travel. However, the low cost of living can lead to overspending if you’re not disciplined. Pro tip: Track your expenses to avoid falling into the trap of thinking “it’s cheap, so why not?” Visa and Residency Challenges Navigating the visa process requires careful planning. While options like the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) offer flexibility, there is no straightforward path to permanent residency, even for long-term expats. Understanding your visa requirements and long-term goals is essential before making the move. Unmatched Quality of Life and Convenience Thailand’s cost-effective lifestyle allows you to enjoy luxuries like massages, world-class dining, and frequent travel without breaking the bank. Convenience is everywhere—whether it’s apps for food delivery, laundry services, or nearby amenities like gyms and coworking spaces. Tune in to hear about my personal journey adjusting to a new culture, building my life as a remote entrepreneur, and why Thailand continues to deliver on everything I was seeking. Whether you’re dreaming of becoming a digital nomad or considering a move abroad, this episode will provide valuable insights to help you make informed decisions. Let me know your thoughts on my pros and cons list, and if you’re considering Thailand, what would be your top priorities?

    Why The Caribbean Needs More Digital First Businesses!

    Episode Summary In this episode of Digipreneur FM, Keron Rose dives deep into why the Caribbean—and especially Trinidad and Tobago—needs to embrace digital-first businesses. The episode highlights the region's reliance on import-heavy business models and explores how shifting to digital-first thinking can alleviate issues like foreign exchange shortages and high living costs. Keron also shares practical examples of digital-first businesses and skillsets that Caribbean entrepreneurs can adopt to create sustainable income streams while contributing to their country's economic resilience. This episode is packed with actionable insights and a wake-up call for entrepreneurs in the Caribbean to rethink their business strategies for the digital age. Key Takeaways Digital-First Thinking is a Necessity, Not an Option The current business landscape in the Caribbean heavily relies on importing goods, which exacerbates issues like foreign exchange shortages. Entrepreneurs need to shift their mindset and explore digital-first businesses that rely less on physical imports and more on exporting expertise or digital products. Digital Skillsets Open Global Opportunities Building digital skillsets like e-commerce management, social media management, SEO, and content creation allows individuals to tap into global markets. This makes it possible to earn in stronger currencies, enhancing individual income and supporting the local economy. Practical Digital Business Models Examples such as e-commerce, dropshipping, affiliate marketing, online tutoring, and freelance services demonstrate how Caribbean entrepreneurs can transition from traditional business models to sustainable, digital-first approaches.
