Tokyo and Seoul seem expensive, unless you have a 7 or 8 figure paycheck. Also, time zone and language challenges. My destination for 'digital nomad' life would be London (or any city in U.K. or Ireland). Neutral time zone, no language barrier, though expensive.View attachment 967815

Vietnam and Malaysia are nice places. Seoul and Tokyo are just too expensive and you will face the langauge barrier.
yes, Japan, Korea are more developed but much more expensive. language is challenging I would not stay there. if anything Dubai is a good choice I like it. if Vietnam it is good choice for money. VN offers 3 month stay e-visa for tourists. Danang is very popular for foreigners thus prices tend higher. in Vietnam I prefer to stay in Nha trang. more local Vietnamese. prices tend even cheaper than Danang.
if you mean Viet people can understand Malay people, yes, there is a great barrier. we don´t understand each other at all. but there is a catch we have both latin characters. if you want to learn, Malay is much easier to learn than Vietic. from the grammatic Malay is a more straighforward language. you see the words you speak everry words. Selamat means "Hello"´you pronounce se-la-mat.
I think Vietnam is a good place, just need a few more years of development. Most Chinese would even choose to retire in Vietnam if not for the hostilities.
