Thailand
Thailand not only offers the best lifestyle in Asia (according to sources we trust)?but also the best lifestyle bargain. The cost of living is almost embarrassingly reasonable?partly due, still, to a collapse in the value of the Thai currency, the baht, in 1998. You can rent a nicely furnished room in Bangkok for B3,000 (about US$70)?per month. The going rate for a two-bedroom townhouse is but B8,000 a month (US$190).
