This is such a misconception. You cannot "live like a king" for low amounts of money in developing countries. In most of these countries, luxury living costs just as much as more expensive, "western" countries.

"Living like a king" doesn't mean living in the biggest local-style house in a middle class neighborhood and hooking all your friends up with 25 cent beers at the local pub.

Cars and electronics will cost as much if not more than other countries, nevermind travel... "Living like a king" on $100/day is great until you realize a flight out of your shithole country is going to cost you a months wage.
