The Philippines — specially Palawan — is another good destination for remote work. A co-worker lives in Davao and have met people in Manila that do as much (or more) work than me with their Internet speed which is not at US levels but is good enough for what most nomad developers do. Be sure to get a local SIM card and a 4-8GB plan just in case so you can share it with your computer.
There is also an advantage of living in this side of the world, most of the time you are the first person in the company to initiate your work day which allows you to focus more on what can be done for the day with the rest of the team. And of course, incident response is much better since the timezone difference allows you to stay awake at times that are considered difficult if you are living in America.
