Posts: 98How to work in Thailand without your company knowing
Hey, I wasn't sure where to write this, but it seemed this question belonged in the general section. About to try something that is risky, but I was just given the opportunity to work 100% remote where as long as I have internet connection, I do not have to go into an actual office in the USA, namely the Phoenix office which is city I live in. Here's the issue though: I really do not want them to know I'm out of the country. I realize that in Thailand, I will need to find a hotel / condo that has great internet, as that is key, but not sure who has consistently GREAT internet (hopefully wired, as I'm thinking its more secure), so that will take some research, but also, I have to have a situation where if my manager wants to call me on my business line, he can call me and I can pick up the phone as if I'm still in the states. There can't be some situation of a company phone bill saying there was some long distance charge to thailand. Nobody at the office contacts anybody on whatsapp, so that's out and is suspicious. Should be a regular phone number someone is dialing and I need to be able to call into business meetings without incurring myself a $500 dollar phone bill.
Anybody have tips on how its possible to do something like this? If not possible and too much headache, I won't do it, but I'm really thinking something can be done. I'm willing to purchase what I have to in order to do this. I love Thailand!
Will be travelling with:
* Company laptop and company phone &.
* Personal laptop and personal phone.
Thanks for your help. Either issue you can speak on (phone or internet), will be greatly appreciated.

Hi all.
Is there anywhere at the International Airport that you buy a local SIM card.
Thanks.
Rob.

I live in the US and stopped visiting Caucasian chicks back in 2008, after I met a Korean provider that year. After that, I only did Asians when in the US, preferably Koreans. I go to Europe once a year to visit family, a perfect time to try Eastern European chicks. I have been pretty content with the eye candy there and with the service as well.
One has to keep in mind that when I first mongered there in 2006, the cost of a session was 50 Euros for 30 min. Guess what? It still is 50 Euros, but personally, I have been paying more than that for a while now. So, it is normal that if one does not want to pay more than 50 Euros, they will get a quickie and no more. No GFE, no DATY, no Kissing, etc. Basically you get what you pay for, as it should always be.
BTW, I also visited Club Globe in Zurich on this trip, for the first time. I paid 95 CHF (Swiss Francs) to enter the club and paid 145 CHF per 30-min session. There, you definitely find plenty of eye candy (my favorites), you get GFE service, but you pay dearly for it. The girls were mostly Romanians, but you get the best of the bunch. Those girls who cannot make it at Globe end up going back to the German FKKs.
Honestly, I am not sure yet if I like Globe better than the German FKKs though. I have no problem finding my type of eye candy in the German FKKs, and I like Germany better than Switzerland, where everything is so expensive. As an example, my hotel in Frankfurt cost me about $70/ night. In Oerlikon (a suburb of Zurich), I paid $200/ night for pretty much the same quality hotel. Even public transportation was more expensive in that place.

One Thai girl I know for many years, not a GF or sex partner, has a brain tumour. This is probably actually true. It is not at all clear to me how serious her condition is, one has to assume it may be bad. She can't afford an operation to remove it, and maybe does not want to risk it. Real shit happens.
Locals in the village seem to die regularly from motorcycle accidents, lung or liver cancers, etc.
Cost me quite a bit for GF's father medical treatment. She had to nurse him almost full time for quite a long time. Brain disease. He died eventually anyway, then Thai funeral's can be costly too.
Dependents always end up expensive. If a guy can have no dependents, P4P could be a lot cheaper. What are the benefits of a wife? Ha Ha.

Posts: 303And she thought she was hooked up to an ATM machine! You will be surprised at the the scams out there. Last month, a friend went to India and noticed that the bottled water he bought had caps with the plastic tabs broken. He also had to do the throw the change on the floor to get away from a group of kids that surrounded him.

Posts: 303I am surprised you got that much through or need that much. You can test out a hotel's connection by connecting directly in at a business center. If it suits your needs, you can check into that hotel for a couple days. Then move around to the other hotels that worked. There are hotels who claim to cater to high tech road warriors.
