According to Holidu<\/a>, Bangkok has been ranked as the best city in the world for a \u2018workation\u2019, with Phuket also ranking in the top 10.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These two famous Thai destinations ranked among the top cities in the world where people can combine remote working and vacation into their lifestyle.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tourism Authority of Thailand\u00a0(TAT)\u00a0announced\u00a0Holidu\u2019s\u00a0recent survey,\u00a0the\u00a0Workation\u00a0Index, which\u00a0rated 150 cities according to a wide variety of metrics.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of these metrics include the costs of renting a one-bedroom\u00a0apartment, the cost of a\u00a0cocktail\u00a0after a long workday, Wi-Fi speeds, leisure activities available, hours of sun each day, and more.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on the survey, Bangkok came in first due to its array of activities and attractions, high-quality facilities, affordable cost of living, amount of proficient English speakers, and establishment of numerous multinational offices in the city.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Holidu commended the cultural and financial benefits of living in Thailand, recognising Bangkok and Phuket for their great balance between affordability and quality of life.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The governor of the TAT\u00a0honoured\u00a0the awards,\u00a0saying the list represents people\u2019s growing interest to work abroad in exciting locations and escape from traditional work environments.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHaving two Thai cities included in the top\u00a0workation\u00a0destinations of the world is a fantastic thumbs-up that indicates their immense popularity among those who choose to work abroad from their home. Of all the cities on offer, it\u2019s truly pleasing to know so many choose Bangkok and Phuket as their\u00a0favourite\u00a0workation\u00a0spot.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These accolades come at a time where Thailand is evaluating its laws and visa restrictions on remote workers or digital nomads.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A digital nomad visa was recently proposed, along with other new visa and immigration plans, to help attract more affluent longer-term\u00a0travellers\u00a0and revive the Kingdom\u2019s inactive tourism industry.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
