Little bit of background info: Early 30’s M who is taking the plunge and becoming a full time digital nomad at the EOY. I’m pretty frugal , not looking for a super western DM experience; as in I’m happy to have a meal on the roadside among the locals, rather than head to the nearest KFC.
I’ll be looking to spend 1+ month in each location using Airbnb.
Starting off in BKK, maybe Koh Lanta or Chiang Mai after, then off to Saigon.
I’ve read countless threads and done a fair amount of research, and this is what I’ve come up with, and I guess it’s not what’s technically classed as ‘shoestring’ but I’m looking to skim off some cost where I can so all feedback is super appreciated.
**Accommodation**: $500
**Food**: $275
**Meds**: $250
**Insurance:** $50
**Entertainment**: $250
**Transport**: $50
**Phone**: $25
**Water/Toiletries/Misc**: $50
**Visa/Onward Travel** : $150
**Total monthly cost:** $1600
So, how realistic is this budget? I’ve got wiggle room to adjust so please let me know if there’s anything I’ve missed.
