OK, so there is no Digital Nomad Anlong Veng scene and you should only move here if you know a bit of Cambodian and are really interested in Khmer Rouge history. If you can navigate these points though, there are few places in Cambodia more interesting than Anlong Veng. What the Anlong Veng? Anlong Veng…
Cambodia is one of the best places in the world to get paid to travel, Kampot is one of the best places in Cambodia, so ergo the Digital Nomad Kampot scene must be good right? Well, yes and no. Kampot for sure is one of the best places to be a digital nomad, but it…
Thailand has been the default landing zone for digital nomads in Asia for so long that it almost feels like part of the geography rather than a choice. People arrive with a laptop, a loose income plan and the vague idea they will “figure it out here”, and for a long time that actually worked…
