Obviously remote vs local is different. But Thailand vs Paris, for a company that is based in San Diego, is not that different - both are remote. So why would you pay differently? Anyone can pay as much/little as they want, and get paid as much/little as they are willing to accept, obviously. But IMO it is worth remembering that ultimately what matters is the value added. If you live in a cheap location, negotiate hard, because you're adding as much value as someone that lives in an expensive location.
