20 CHEAPEST Countries To Live Comfortably on $500 Per Month 

Yeah, take this video with a grain of salt. Living in thailand on $500 for a westerner would be barely making it. For $1500 you could live comfortibly if you aren't partying. I have a house in chiangmai. You can eat for 100 baht no problem. Thats about $2.70 usd for one meal, so a day will cost you, $8ish, lets make that $10. Thats $300 for a month if you don't drink alcohol. You can't cook at home cheaper unless you are just eating rice. If your rent is $300 which is doable for a month for something tiny, you gota electric bill, and internet, and water. You haven't included transportation, or entertainment. Also, in thailand you have to have X amount of money in a thai bank in order to qualify to get a retirement visa. Trust me, the video is fantasyland. My niece grew up on a farm. She lived in our house and went to school in Chiangmai. That girl is frugal and no way she could live on $500 if she had to pay rent....

Living in the Philippines is very affordable. MY one thought is managing your money. Being able to access it. Yes ATM's are available with its fee...but its available everywhere. One problem I have encountered is if the ATM encounters a "problem" with your card it will retain your card. Meaning the bank will have to open the ATM to return it to you.. My suggestion is use the same bank atm . So if there is a problem you have established a relationship with that bank.

Oppressive heat, humidity, heart breaking poverty, violent crime, kidnapping are ignored in this video.

Charming city of Vientiane ... That is something new to me :D As someone who visits Vientiane every week for 4 years now, i can tell many things about the city, but Charming is not the first word which comes in mind about it ... Vang Vieng, Luang Prabang is Charming. The Capital is just the capital of the Country, nothing special ...

Thank you so much for all the great information. I really did enjoy watching and listening to this great video 🙏🙏

Great video but you left out Colombia which is much better than Ecuador.

excellant look-over of many countries where one could live, but not for $500 . . . still good . . . now, how about doing another video where you go thru this list and talk about visas, the ease of STAYING there as a retiree . . . seriously!

Dream onn

Delusional! Requirements for visas and insurance, income or savings, makes your cost of living much more expensive!

Make sure you dont go to Mayanmar they're in a war currently and westerners have been told to stay away. The borders are closed anyway.

Living on $500/month sounds great, but what about healthcare and safety in these cheap countries?

It's not a rose garden like you make it out to be

no way living in any of these countries for 500$ a month. Maybe in 1990 but not nowadays.

Ja ja... 3 X 500 ... ok

I live and live in these countries, and this AI video is a lie, anyone these countries you cant live comfortable on $500, you may exist on it but comfortable, your rent $200 ok now just got $300 your place want water and electricity well there go another 60 to 100. Now got 200, phone are internet and you got 100 far food, but really because there transporting to do. Ride to buy are if get a car are moterbike, gas. So you sit in a broke down place, with no aircon with no fun in life, if look far a girl, why they want a foreigner who make less then the men in there country. Use your head these video are made far view, not truth, its why there 100s of them on here,

You cannot live on $500 a month in any of these countries unless you get free rent, you are a liar, pure clickbait!
