Shortly after China opened its borders with the end of zero-Covid-19, Zhang Chuannan lost her job as an accountant at a cosmetic firm in Shanghai and decided to explore the world.

“The cosmetics business was bleak,” said Zhang, 34, who explained that everyone wore face masks during the pandemic. After being laid off, she paid US$1,400 (RM6,330) for an online Thai course, got an education visa and moved to the scenic northern Thai city of Chiang Mai.
