• Katherine Phillips was burned out, so she left San Diego and moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand, alone in 2019.
• She works remotely on a Destination Thailand Visa and lives in a $340-a-month apartment.
• She says her life has slowed down since moving to Chiang Mai and it's done wonders for her mental health.

Katherine Phillips, 32, had never been to Chiang Mai, Thailand, before she moved there on her own in 2019.

Phillips, who grew up in San Diego, always dreamed of traveling around Asia. Her mother is from the Philippines, and while she's been to Manila multiple times to visit family over the years, she never got the chance to explore the rest of Southeast Asia.

After finishing grad school and getting her master's in counseling, she was ready to take a break.

"I was really burned out," Phillips told Business Insider. "It was a lot of 15-hour days."

While she was keen on the idea of taking a gap year to travel, she also wanted to make sure she had some income.

When she stumbled upon a job listing for a one-year counseling position at a private international school in Chiang Mai, she decided to go for it.

Why Chiang Mai?

Chiang Mai is about 450 miles north of Bangkok and has long been a popular destination for tourists and expats alike, in part due to its relatively low cost of living.

Phillips says Chiang Mai caught her attention because it frequently came up on lists of popular destinations for digital nomads and expats. It felt like a safe place to live.

Her parents were shocked when she first told them about her plans to move abroad.

"I've always done everything by the books. And this was the first time I was like, 'I'm going to leave the country,'" she said. "They were like, 'You couldn't have just gone to a different state? You had to go to a whole other country?'"

While they were supportive, they were also worried because they couldn't quite understand why she wanted to do it.

"My mom immigrated to the States when she was 18 or 19. She came here and created this really amazing life for herself. And then I, on the other hand, wanted to do the opposite and leave the States," Phillips said.

Her parents have always been somewhat traditional, she said: "You get the degrees, you climb the corporate ladder, that kind of thing, and I was not for that at all."

The school helped Phillips with her visa application, and she stayed in her job there for two years.

When the pandemic started, everything moved online, including her counseling sessions, and she could feel herself starting to burn out again.

"It just started to not feel fulfilling anymore, and I felt like I was doing a disservice. I don't want to show up every day miserable," Phillips said.

After she left her job, she got an education visa and enrolled in a university to learn Thai.

Now, she works remotely for a marketing agency. She has a Destination Thailand Visa, which was introduced last year and can be used by digital nomads and remote workers.

In November 2022, Phillips moved into a one-bedroom apartment near Nimman, a trendy district popular with tourists and expats. Her rent is 11,500 Thai baht, or about $340, a month. It's her third apartment in Chiang Mai.

The 550-square-foot apartment has an open floor plan, two balconies, and a washing machine.

Better mental health, more free time

In recent years, Chiang Mai has become a popular choice for people around the world looking to relocate.

Data from the Bureau of Registration Administration of Thailand indicates that 163,036 foreigners were living in Chiang Mai province as of December 31.

Several people who moved to Chiang Mai previously told BI they were drawn to the area's low costs and laid-back lifestyle.

Johnny Ward, a travel blogger, previously told BI he managed to build his dream "James Bond" villa in Chian Mai for about $600,000. Fred Jones, a retired cop from Florida, previously told BI that life in Chiang Mai is cheaper, safer, and less stressful than back in the US.

Living in Chiang Mai has done wonders for her mental health, and she has more control over her time now. That's partially due to the nature of her work, which is more flexible and project-based.

"I have time for hobbies now. What is that? Because that never happens in the States," she said with a laugh. Now, she gets to do creative things, like learn how to dance the salsa and the bachata, as well as make videos on YouTube and TikTok.

That said, her journey wasn't without its challenges. There was a language barrier, and it took Phillips some time to get used to the food in Chiang Mai, which was more spicy than back in the US.

She added that there was also a part of her that felt like she was missing out on things that were happening back in the States.

However, now that she's been living in Chiang Mai for so long, she says she doesn't see herself moving back to the US.

"I honestly feel safer than I do in the States sometimes," she said. "I feel like everyone looks out for each other."

Ultimately, she's glad she took the plunge to make the move.

"You can always go back to your 9-to-5, to your life in the States, but I think it's worth just experiencing it at least once, to try it out and see," she said.

• Trump still faces potential revocation of his NJ liquor licenses due to his hush-money conviction.
• His lawyers now want the federal courts to take control of his state appeal of the hush-money case.
• NJ officials tell BI that a license revocation hearing remains pending, though no date is set.

Lawyers for President Trump took the unusual step this week of asking a federal appellate court in Manhattan to take control of the state appeal of his New York hush-money conviction.

The hush-money case is "extraordinary" and relied on now-exempt official, presidential acts to reach a guilty verdict, Trump's lawyers wrote in asking that the state appeal be moved to the federal court system.

US law allows such a state-to-federal transfer, but almost only in cases that are pretrial. For judges to approve, a defendant must invoke a federal defense such as presidential immunity, and must establish that the alleged criminal conduct arose from official federal acts, his lawyers argued in a 40-page brief.

"This prosecution of President Trump, which never should have been brought, checks both boxes," they wrote.

The brief was filed Monday with the intermediate-level Second Circuit Court of Appeals. It was signed by attorney Robert J. Giuffra, Jr.

In the 10 months since his conviction, Trump has fought hard in no fewer than four courts to clear his criminal record.

So long as the conviction remains on his record, at least two of Trump's three New Jersey liquor licenses — for his golf courses at the Trump National Golf Club in Colts Neck and the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, remain in jeopardy.

On Tuesday, a spokesperson with the New Jersey attorney general's office told Business Insider that revocation hearings on those golf club licenses remain pending, though no date has been set.

New Jersey law requires revocation if someone who holds or is the primary beneficiary of a liquor license has a felony conviction.

Although the three clubs' liquor licenses are in Donald Trump, Jr.'s, name, the elder Trump remains the primary financial beneficiary of the licenses through the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, the spokesperson said.

The Colts Neck and Bedminster clubs are selling liquor under provisional licenses; the license for Trump's third New Jersey club, the Trump National Golf Club Philadelphia in Pine Hill, expires in June.

A Manhattan jury in May convicted Trump of 34 felony counts.

The jury found that throughout 2017, his first year in office, Trump conspired with his top executives to falsify Trump Organization records to retroactively hide a $130,000 hush-money payment that had silenced porn actress Stormy Daniels 11 days before the 2016 election.

Monday's brief came in response to an older and far more narrow question — whether a federal judge erred in July 2023 when he rejected one of Trump's pre-trial efforts to move the case to federal court.

Trump had argued in that case that the hush-money matter "involves important federal questions" because he was president at the time prosecutors say the records were falsified.

US District Court Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein disagreed, sending it back to state court for trial. Hellerstein found that Trump failed to demonstrate that the conduct he was actually charged with — falsifying business records to hide a hush-money payment — related to any official acts as president.

Prosecutors with the office of District Attorney Alvin Bragg have yet to respond to Monday's brief, and did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In September they filed a brief arguing that Trump's efforts to move the case have come too late. In January they filed notice that they are willing to appear in court and participate in oral arguments before the appellate panel.
