Everyone I've talked to has raved about Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng in Laos. Flights from Thailand are cheap and bus/train travel is practically free.

I am running outta money in BKK because I can't beat 50NL for any decent ammount. I spent roughly 30k BHT a month here. Is it any cheaper over at Laos? Got reliable internet connection?

one would think that if you can't beat 50NL, there are probably easier things to do to increase your standard of living than move countries.

Laos is like Thailand except it is much cheaper and the people are friendlier imo. Check out my thread in the travel forum.

If you are looking to stay in Asia, I'd suggest East Timor (Indonesia area) or Solomon Islands.

If you are looking for cheapest in general, I'd suggest Malawi or Somalia.

To put things in prospective, Thailand's GDP per capita is about 10x higher than these countries. Thus the piss poor economy suggests much lower standard of living. So, I'm guessing you can get by on a few hours of 10NL

you can check lonely planet but i would imagine that some of these countries are more expensive than thailand because there is not a big tourism industry. more tourists = competitive prices.

I'm officially coining the phrase "ninja hooker" for a girl you pick up at a normal venue who then demands money the following morning.
