Krabi, Thailand. Avoid Phuket or Ao Nang, Krabi town is a bit off to the side but extremely peaceful and rural and tons of nature and unguided exploration to be had nearby.
Also outer Taiwan, Jeju Island (S.Korea), Okinawa, Fukuoka (Japan).
Parts of south India might be tempting, but the quality of internet can be very frustrating and can offset the quality of the nature.
source: all places I've passed through or by as a nomad in the last 2 years.
- montecruiseto 11y agoSounds interesting! I was considering Taiwan recently. How is the infrastructure/livability/internet in those regions you mention? Any places you can be specific about?
- keerthiko 11y agoInternet was my prime consideration as well, and all of those places have excellent internet. 20+mbps 3G/4G mobile internet at reasonable prices on top of solid connections at most hostels and airbnbs you could stay at there. Rural Taiwan is especially nice because you're just a high speed rail ride away from Taipei, most likely. The others would probably involve a cheap and very short flight to the nearest metropolis, in case you miss the city life. Okinawa can feel a bit touristy, but you can get away from it if you do some groundwork. I spent a month out of an airbnb in Krabi town. Lived for about $200/mo, spending weekends doing touristy things and eating out most of the time. I got familiar with just about every shopkeep and restaurant owner in the hood. Random streams and gardens to hang around in and pass time and ponder the universe. I enjoyed it, and miss it sometimes, but the place helped me discover that personally I am a city-junkie and needed to get out of there.
