"Guy on the beach with a laptop".
Seriously, lots of time/little money is why Thailand was invented in the first place. Rock up on Tonsai beach today, just as the high season is winding down and you'll have no problem negotiating a bungalow for less than $300/month if you tell them you plan to stay a while.
They have good enough internet for casual remote work, good power, awesome rock climbing, Australian girls sipping stiff drinks out of a coconut, and all that James Bond Villain Headquarters scenery that Thailand is famous for.
And there are roughly thirty thousand equally nice beaches scattered across this world that will offer pretty much the same combination of cheap living, paradise, and wifi.
Sucks to be the rest of us. Keep us posted!

- MatthiasP 13y agoBesides Thailand i would also suggest to look at India, some nice locations there, considerably cheaper than Thailand and a higher percentage of people speaking English.
- not_paul_graham 13y agoWhat good places in India? Can you recommend some at similar price points that offer good connectivity, access to nature, the beach, etc?

- kirubakaran 13y agoI'd love to hear more, especially about where to stay. Could you please share your email? My email is in my profile. Thanks!

- sbashyal 13y agoI am from Nepal and I second the serenity of Pokhara. A colleague of mine who traveled throughout Asia put it this way: "There is something healing in those mountains". If anyone in HN is interested in going to Nepal, feel free to reach out, e-mail is in profile.
