Any DNs out there or have lived there for more than a year that also lived in SEA?

Tell me about the cost of living compared to Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines...etc. What about visas? And the food? Healthcare? People?...

Haven't lived in Turkey for a year, but have spent 4 months there cumulatively over a few trips. Lived in SEA for 6 years too.

Turkey is more expensive than SEA for the most part, particularly over the past year or so as prices have gone up a lot due to inflation. Still though, it is a great value destination in comparison to Europe and much of the world. The food is amazing, locals very welcoming and kind, tons of diverse places to visit. With a US passport you can get an e-visa allowing you to stay 90 days out of 180. My only complaint is that internet can be a bit spotty at times. Overall it is one of my favorite countries of the 66 I have been to.
