Wow. Nice to see my post cited on HN. I wrote that post after reading about a startup founder who was being very vocal about starting his company in Thailand and encouraging others to do the same. He never warned people of the legality of doing this and I felt that was highly unethical. Not much has changed since then. There were a few arrests of 'Digital Nomads' in Chiang Mai, but nobody was actually charged or deported. A few Russian tour guides in Pattaya have been charged, which might not sound significant as the work they do is different, but these arrests came after a statement that they would not be bothered. It's more evidence of the flip-flop enforcement of Thai law. The thing about Thailand is that enforcement swings depending on the mood of the enforcers. What's tolerated today isn't tomorrow. That's just the way Thailand is. Cambodia was a good choice previously as their laws were murky and not enforced at all, but that's different these days [1]. I'll be following that post up with a post on how to become legal whilst working in Thailand.
