"There are essentially two camps when it comes to digital nomading: People who are interested in the most luxurious, gorgeous places to set up shop... and people who want to see the world on a budget. This is for the second group! No, you're probably not getting a beachfront villa for $200 anymore (RIP pandemic pricing). But there are still cities where your rent doesn't eat your entire income."
"Chiang Mai, Thailand This is the No. 1 for a reason; Chiang Mai is still one of the easiest places to stretch a dollar as a remote worker. Rent is affordable, food is absurdly cheap, and the nomad infrastructure is dilled in. Cafés are laptop-friendly, coworking spaces are everywhere, and weekend mountain escapes cost next to nothing. Da Nang, Vietnam This is a beach city with excellent Wi-Fi and reasonable rent."
Two main approaches to digital nomading exist: luxury-focused travel and budget-minded travel. The budget-minded option emphasizes cities where rent, food, and local services allow remote workers to live comfortably on modest incomes. Twelve budget-friendly cities are highlighted for their combination of affordability and quality of life. Examples include Chiang Mai for very low costs and abundant nomad infrastructure; Da Nang for beach access and solid Wi‑Fi; Tirana for low European rents and visa benefits; Budapest for affordable capital amenities; and Medellín for pleasant weather and coworking scenes. These cities offer reliable internet, cafe and coworking options, and accessible local transport, enabling productive remote work without high expenses.
