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?...

I’m not a full time nomad, but I’m on the end of a month long stay in Turkey and I find it incredible! I have been working the whole time, and it worked fine. The internet is worst the more east you go. Gaziantep was probably the worst, but it was manageable. The food is excellent and very cheap. Istanbul is world cuisine and more expensive, but still cheaper than São Paulo (my city of reference). You get a plate of good soup with unlimited bread for 2 dollars, no kidding. With 10 dollars you eat like a king in most places.

Can’t say much about visa and heathcare.
