"A one-bedroom apartment in Chiang Mai typically rents for around $400 a month, which significantly influences how easy the city feels to live in. Food, transportation, and daily needs remain affordable enough that most remote workers can cover essentials without constant budgeting. Coworking spots are concentrated in Nimmanhaemin, so getting around is rarely a challenge. Chiang Mai suits people who value steady, predictable costs more than luxury upgrades."

Outside tourist zones, apartments often fall near $700, and public transit replaces the need for a car. Cafes expect laptops during the day. Rail access to nearby capitals makes the city practical for slow travel rather than short stays.

Remote work has made location a financial decision as much as a lifestyle one. Many remote workers choose cities where daily expenses align with remote income, making long stays workable. Chiang Mai offers one-bedroom rents around $400, affordable food and transport, concentrated coworking in Nimmanhaemin, and steady predictable costs over luxury. Budapest delivers lower rents outside tourist zones, strong public transit that reduces car needs, laptop-friendly cafes, and rail access that supports slow travel. Medellín’s stable temperatures reduce heating and cooling needs, Laureles and other neighborhoods offer reasonable rent, metro access limits ride-sharing reliance, and healthcare is accessible and affordable. Tbilisi permits many visitors to stay a year without visa paperwork, enabling affordable long-term rentals, inexpensive groceries, cafes that accommodate extended work sessions, and reduced administrative renewals for longer stays.
