A comment on Ask HN: In what countries can you legally get a long term teleworking visa?. Parent comment
The other alternatives are:
1. I hire an American who works in the US
2. I open a Thai subsidiary and sponsor work visas for Americans to work there
3. I open a Thai subsidiary and hire Thais
Obviously option 2 and 3, while unlikely, provide a bigger boost to the Thai economy and result in higher tax revenue for the Thai government.
Yes, it's nice for the guest country to have people telecommuting on tourist visas, but it's detrimental to their IT industry.
