    Webmasters Living In Thailand - How do you run your business?

    I'm thinking of moving to Bangkok and I already have several people offering me apartments. My question is seeing that porn is illegal in Thailand and many ISP's are blocked how do you keep your biz moving.

    I was talking to some Thai peeps on a message board and one person suggested that I use offshore hosting and no .com sites but I'm not sure if they really knew what they were talking about.

    You could use a vpn and keep your business to yourself. I know that's what some people living over there do.

      get web hosting in USA/EU for your sites.

      use a vpn account to encrypt all of your web traffic out of the country. An example of this is to use steganos.com services as their servers are located in Germany. This will bypass all filtering Thailand attempts to implement and will ensure you are not detected when dealing with porn.

      You -> encrypted traffic -> Thailand ISP filters -> Steganos servers (Germany) -> Destination address and it works the same way coming back to you.

      What is the rent and living expenses like there?

        Cool. I might have to try this at home to make sure I know what I'm doing first.


        So far the best deal I have is a guy offering me a studio at $205 a month if I sign a 12 month lease. The place has two pools and a gym with free Internet but I think it's dialup or at least something slower than what I have. He mentioned that I could get an upgrade for my Internet but there would be a charge. This is on the beach in Pattaya

              I know people who went to Thailand to setup software companies (basic idea was that they will work remote to US clients)...first few months it goes fine, but then they find a Thai girl friend, thai girl friend finds them coke, they get few other chicks....end of the day they are having sex or on high 24 hours a day and the work they were suppose to do for their US client never get done.

                      as long as you're not shooting content and not telling ppl what you do, or letting local computer shops work on your computer, you'll be fine.

                      simple as that.. for added precaution use vpn etc etc..

                        I have to agree. I've only smoked weed twice in my life and the second time it was at a coworkers house. After we smoked he was like, by the way we laced that with pcp. That's when I realised that all drug user where born idiots. I don't have a problem with people that smoke weed because to me they are just strong cigarettes with a little extra kick but I hate drugs and I don't see hanging out with anyone like that.

                        It sounds cold but if I was involved with a girl and found out she was doing drugs I would say "sorry but I can't be with you or even be friends with you" The idea of being friends with someone that is a regular drug user really really turns me off. I don't even like giving money to a girl if I know she's going to use it on drugs.

                            The stupid people in this thread are the ones that want to go to a foriegn country where porn is ILLEGAL---AND DO PORN!! My God. If caught? Who the fuck knows, could be thrown in jail for the rest of your life. Think about that. And just forget about doing drugs there. It's just as illegal.

                                I wouldn't advice you going to Thailand, the place sucks. I'm sure you wouldn't like it there, especially Pattaya.

                                    This is exactly what's supposed to happen in Thailand.

                                            205$ a month even in Pattaya sounds like a shithole, have you seen the pictures of that place? Free internet wont work, and it is not sure if you can make phone line and DSL in the building. Its many questions in your story, I live in that area, hit me up on icq if you need a help/advise.

Free internet wont work, and it is not sure if you can make phone line and DSL in the building. Its many questions in your story, I live in that area, hit me up on icq if you need a help/advise.
                                              Here is the email I got for the really cheap one. I'm still looking at other offers though and doing research. I'll try to grt my on icq tonight after I finish my work so I can chat with you guys.

                                              THB7000 / 1br - Studio, Jomtien Beach Condominium (Rim Had) (Jomtien)

                                              Dear Michael,

                                              Yes the room in question has everything you are looking for. It is close to the beach and to transport (bus and taxi). It also has the benefit of an existing wireless internet connection ( a telephone line with ADSL can also be connected within a week in this building). The building has two swimming pools, a gym and a number of bars,shops, restauarants and other services on the ground floor.

                                              If you wanted to sign a six month contract the rent would be 7000 baht a month ($220 approx). For a years contract I would be willing to reduce this monthly rent to 6500 baht ($205 approx).

                                              I also have a studio room available to rent in the building View Talay 1. This is slightly closer to the beach and transport etc. It is on the 11th floor and has the benefit of a European style kitchen. The monthly rental on this apartment is 9000 baht a month ($280 approx). As with the previous apartment, an internet connection would pose no problems whatsoever. Unfortuately as this room is currently occupied until the end of this week I have no photographs to send to you. If you are interested in this room, I will of course send you some upon request.


                                              If you have any questions or any other requirements please do not hesitate to let me know.

                                              Kind Regards
                                              Parn

                                                    Either get a VPN from third part or setup you own.

                                                    But I'd still consider if this risk is worth .. some day you might get caught and ya know what happens then.

                                                        Before you move there, you may want to take a look at what happens to people when they are arrested for something like that. If its illegal, and they go as far as to filter it, why would you put yourself in that. To save a few bucks? If thats the only reason, find another location. Plenty of them.

                                                          There seem to be a lot of people living there that are running an adult biz so I don't think it's something they really enforce.

If caught? Who the fuck knows, could be thrown in jail for the rest of your life. Think about that. And just forget about doing drugs there. It's just as illegal.

                                                                      using a vpn is easy cheesy. you can pay for one $20/month or just run your own on your servers.

                                                                      of course you will have off shore hosting, who the fuck wants to have servers hosted inside thailand?? do you like slow speeds and crashing servers because of the 100F heat?

                                                                          Be discrete, stay prudent and you will have an amazing time!

                                                                                      Results of a nationally representative study show that genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have had genital HSV infection. Over the past decade, the percent of Americans with genital herpes infection in the U.S. has decreased.

                                                                                      Genital HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximately one out of four women) than in men (almost one out of eight). This may be due to male-to-female transmission being more likely than female-to-male transmission.
