I could spend a vast amount of time cruising around Thailand, ducking out from time to time to renew my visa. There are plenty of places (Koh Phan Gan, Krabi, Chiang Mai) where I would be happy to set up for a month. I could write Thai and Indian dating sites and watch my online earnings rise! Sometime in 2012 or 2013 or sometime like that, I am going up to Chiang Mai to spend some time. Like the <a href="http://bohemiantraveler.com/2011/05/using-chiang-mai-as-a-remote-workplace/">Bohemian Traveller</a>, I am going to make it my virtual office, on my long orbit around the world.<p>
