Instead, Chiang Rai is much smaller and simple, not so much to see and do --forget about nighlife, just relax and get the work done. Food is amazing and you can have as much khao soi you can eat. Finding a condo with pool and gym is possible, but there are not much options available. Better book something in the middle of nature -- rent a motorbike.

Wi-Fi here is pretty decent and a lot more stable than other places in the region I have tried, meaning connections won't always randomly drop. The whole country of Cambodia feels like it's a country heading in the right direction. I walk around, I see shops and eateries that have actual local Cambodian/Khmer people inside them enjoying them. I walk around, yeah, I'm getting random solicits for a ride but no one i

Forget Pattaya downtown and go for Jomtiem instead, with a more family-oriented enviroment, delicious street food and russian/scandinavian communities. You can live in great places with seaview paying less than you would pay for a regular place in Bangkok, with all the traffic and pollution. Also, Koh Larn island, an island 20 minutes far by boat is a gift, with pristine and clean beaches like the most famous islands in Thailand.

Overall most everything is reasonably priced, but not the bargain I was told it is.

It has all of the convivences one could expect from the city except for an MRT system which as of September 2022, they are in the middle of building one anyway. Things are affordable although I have noticed a tamer street food scene compared to other places in Vietnam like Hanoi. Seems to be making more room for higher end dining but affordability is still easy. HCMC without a doubt has some great nightlife, so party animals are going to be very happy here. I am s

However, within 24 hours all of my curiosity turned into disappointment. Yes, Singapore is clean by any standards but especially by Asian standards.

It just seems like Singapore tries to copy interesting parts of other countries and their nature. Take Cloud Forest for example wh
