10 Cheapest Countries to Live in Asia

Have you ever wondered of leaving work and everything behind and just hop on the plane to find the cheapest Asian countries to live in? Previously, we shared to you our prime list of the cheapest countries to live in the world. This time it’s going to be different, because we are travelling to the Far East to learn Kung Fu. Oh, I mean, we’ll study the cheapest islands and countries to make a perfect home of- in Asia! But, seriously why choose Asia to live in the first place? Because of the untouched beauty of Mother Nature is mostly here in Asia and it’s amazingly cheap to live your life to the fullest in Asia. So, why not?

We all had those moments of renting a place somewhere in Thailand so we can enjoy the daily Thai massages, or in the Philippines to capture the scenic beaches, or in India to embrace the wilderness, or of any spot in the gems of Asia so we can unleash our inner adventure beasts. Although, don’t expect Japan to be cheap (that’s why it’s not included in our list) because the daily cost of living in Japan is about $70 as of today. We’ll be talking of the cheap- as cheap as $17 to $30 for daily expenses.

Asia is a great place to start your own business too because the cost of production is low and manufacturing wouldn’t be a problem here for the strong number of manpower. The young and the not-so young generations who do a lot of backpacking might already know that hopping from one Asian country to another is as easy as buying a cheap plane ticket.

Some (or should we say, most) of these travellers just gave it up and chose to marry the Asian country they were just travelling in before but now, converted it as their home. I don’t know with you, but it could be your love of Chinese food or the tropical warm weather that lures you to move your couch in Asia but to be honest, there’s so much more than the box of hot dumplings you are thinking of. Asia is a pure continent filled with blissful places to visit and to live in: picturesque landscapes, respectful people, rich culture, exotic food, booming businesses, and most of all. Most of all, Asia offers you a one of a kind perks- high income and very low cost of living!
