SE Asia is a rather big place but I suppose it's a combination of:
- low cost of living
- pleasant climate
- decent infrastructure
- interesting, diverse culture
- being generally welcoming to foreigners (to those with somewhat big pockets at least)
You get some of those traits in many other non-South-East-Asian countries as well but all of them combined is a pretty rare occurrence.
- victorhn 10y agoPretty much most of Latin America satisfies all of this. I wonder why it is not more popular among nomads, maybe because fame of high rates of crime?
- BjoernKW 10y agoThat could be a reason. Linguistically at least Latin America should be much more accessible to most people.
- wprapido 10y agolatin america has terrible crime rates. yet, there are decent digital nomad communities in mexico, colombia and argentina
- mod 10y agoThe digital community was lacking, but I spent time in Costa Rica and found it very safe, inviting, and beautiful. I was in a very small surf town on the Pacific coast with a strong ex-pat presence.
- wprapido 10y agocentral america has entirely different vibe, for worse. yeah, costa rica seemed safe though, but not quite so other central american countries
