Based on Amritsar's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
Pakistani people are amazing and as long as you get enough data on your phone (20GB goes for about 4$) internet is not an issue at all. All hotels have Wi-Fi and even though not always great, generally it's good enough. Like I said, Pakistani people are incredible and the food is super super cheap. You'll have a hard time spending more than 10$ in a day. Next to that, you're gonna be the only foreigner in Lahore, even though it's such a big city. Most people have never seen a foreigner and are

Most of that time I've spent in Ka Ron and Kata beach area, but also have been to Chalong, Pa Tong, Rawai, and Kathu. Karon and Kata beaches are my favorite. Beaches are beautiful, especially Karon. Overall most everything is reasonably priced, but not the bargain I was told it is. I eventually found a hotel I like, where I pay 12-13 euro per night (below 500 baht atm) and that is by far the lowest I found for the quality I expect. Considering the loc

My biggest recommendation would be to stay in Cihangir or Nişantaşı and avoid the main centre. Cihangir has so many beautiful cafes to work from and there are a lot of people working remotely so it's a really nice vibe. I agree with the comments about taxis, we just caught ubers but mostly walked everywhere which I would recommend. If you stay in Cihangir you can easily walk to Taxim square and through Galata.

I found it quite safe. For me, the weather was like 4 seasons in one day almost every day. Rains a lot, a lot of storms and also very hot and humid.
