About

Hello! I’m Joy Intisuk, and welcome to my personal blog.

Born and raised in the historic city of Chiang Mai, Thailand, I am deeply rooted in the nuances of Thai culture. My journey began at Chiang Mai University, where my fascination with Southeast Asia’s diverse cultures and landscapes turned into a lifelong passion.

For over a decade, I have been a travel writer specializing in the digital nomad lifestyle, exploring not just Thailand but all of Southeast Asia. My experiences have allowed me to discover and share the vibrant culture, hidden gems, and rich history of the region. My articles, featured in various travel blogs, digital nomad forums, and local publications, offer practical tips and deep insights. I’ve covered everything from the best coworking spaces in bustling Bangkok to the complexities of visa regulations and how to adapt culturally in the less traversed parts of Thailand.

I am Co-Founder, Key Investor, Director, and Chief Editor of Thailand Nomads where my role extends beyond just leadership. I actively ensure that our platform provides up-to-date, practical information that helps digital nomads navigate their journeys, whether they are veterans or newcomers eager to explore Thailand as their next destination. I am particularly passionate about the logistical aspects of living and working remotely—something that has become a cornerstone of our content.

Beyond the written word, I am deeply involved in the Chiang Mai Digital Nomad Community. Here, I host workshops and speak at events that promote sustainable travel and effective work-life balance for those constantly on the move. My goal is to help others integrate seamlessly into the local community while maintaining their productivity and well-being.

Cultural immersion is a significant theme in my work and life. I believe that understanding and embracing local customs and traditions is what truly transforms a temporary stay into a meaningful, enriching experience. This philosophy is at the heart of what I advocate through Thailand Nomads.

When I’m not working or writing, you can find me wandering the lush landscapes of Northern Thailand, camera in hand. Photography is another passion of mine; capturing the beauty and essence of my surroundings allows me to share yet another facet of this magnificent region with the world.

In essence, my work and my life are a continuous journey of discovery and sharing, aiming to inspire and guide those who wish to make Thailand more than just a place to visit, but a place to live, work, and thrive.

Living in a region as dynamic and diverse as Southeast Asia has given me a unique perspective on what it truly means to be a digital nomad. It’s not just about finding a place to work; it’s about immersing yourself in new cultures, experiences, and challenges. My mission through Thailand Nomads and my personal endeavors is to bridge the gap between travel and life, making these seemingly disparate concepts seamlessly intertwine.

As a key investor in Thailand Nomads, I also play a crucial role in steering the strategic direction of our platform. This involves not only content creation but also developing partnerships and collaborations that enhance our offerings. Whether it’s connecting with local experts, tech startups, or travel agencies, these relationships help us provide a holistic view of nomadic living that is grounded in local authenticity and valuable insights.

One of my most cherished roles is mentoring aspiring writers and digital nomads. Through personalized workshops and speaking engagements, I share my knowledge and experiences, offering guidance on how to navigate the challenges of remote work while also seizing the opportunities it presents. These sessions often cover critical topics such as securing reliable connectivity in remote locations, understanding local business etiquette, and maintaining health and wellness on the road.

Moreover, sustainability is a theme that runs deeply through all my efforts. I advocate for traveling and living in a manner that respects and preserves the local environment and culture. It’s important to me that our readers not only fall in love with the places they visit but also contribute positively to them. Through Thailand Nomads, we promote sustainable practices that encourage long-term health of the local ecosystems and communities.

In summary, my life and career are dedicated to enriching the experience of digital nomads around the world by providing them with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed abroad, particularly in Thailand. I strive to blend practical advice with deeper cultural insights, encouraging a nomadic lifestyle that is both fulfilling and respectful. As I continue to explore new corners of Thailand and beyond, I remain committed to sharing these journeys, hoping to inspire others to explore the world thoughtfully and passionately.

With a heart full of wanderlust and a soul committed to practical insights, I continue to explore, learn, and share. Each story, each article, each workshop is part of a larger narrative of connecting worlds, understanding cultures, and making the most of our global village. As I capture the essence of Thailand and beyond through my words and photographs, I invite you to join me in this journey of discovery and transformation.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I hope my stories and experiences inspire you to pursue your own adventures, whether they lead you down the street or across continents.
