Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Thailand is STILL the Best Place for Remote Workers: Visas, Work Permits, and Community
Q: What is the value of community and networking for expats in Thailand?
Community events, track days, and expatriate networks create real, lasting relationships that can lead to business opportunities, not just loose LinkedIn connections. Regular in-person gatherings build trust and open doors for referrals and collaborations.
Why Thailand is STILL the Best Place for Remote Workers: Visas, Work Permits, and Community
Q: What are the main legal routes to work in Thailand as a foreigner?
The main options discussed are working through a Thai company with a work permit and visa, joining an outsourcing company like Iglu, or setting up a Thai company (BOI or non-BOI). BOI offers long-term visas and can simplify foreign hiring, but not every sector qualifies; outsourcing provides a flexible path with compliance and payroll support.
Why Thailand is STILL the Best Place for Remote Workers: Visas, Work Permits, and Community
Q: How did your path into Thailand begin, and how did you end up with Iglu?
I started in Sweden, visited Thailand, then landed a job with a Swedish client. That connection led to Iglu through a local partner; Iglu then hired me to work on client projects, eventually transitioning me into a sales manager role and leadership over the team.
Mastering Video Content and Personal Branding in Thailand w/ Jake Mooney
Q: What kinds of workshops do you lead and why do you do them?
Workshops are used as a branding tool and practice ground, not just for direct client acquisition; they help with networking, recruitment, and proving capability, while delivering practical knowledge that attracts the right kind of participants.
How to Hire & Retain Talent in Thailand: Expert Tips from Recruiter Brendan Cunningham
Q: How should SMEs approach retention and career development without large HR programs?
Communicate clear career paths, regularly check in with employees, implement lightweight training and coaching, provide ownership and accountability, and foster an open, family-like office culture where feedback is valued.
