I'm looking for abandoned settlements to visit.

Usually they are all still owned with the settlers appointing a caretaker you can rent a place from so they're good for long stays.

You get a car, some supplies, it's like visiting a ski lodge. Once you're set up you can bring some tourist thots and smoke some weed

I've encountered plenty of abandoned buildings in my travels, many of them very suitable for vagrant travelers. The part about renting and long stays is complete bullshit. If they do have a caretaker his job is to drive trespassers away. Often he has a pack of dogs to help him with this task. In Mexico some abandoned urban properties are used by the cartel. Many other places, they are occupied by squatters who are likely to resent your intrusion. I've heard Bulgaria is a relatively safe country for visiting abandoned buildings and having parties, but getting busted for that behavior in Asia can have serious consequences.

I've done such things for months, arguably years at at a time.
Derelict buildings are usually full of IV drug users, and while you've got to know how to deal with that you still wouldn't chose such places. Similarly places that closed to the public are usually worth breaking into, but you wouldn't actually stay there because of persistent attempts by security to toss people out.

You can find hotels that were just closed down and no longer operate commercially, many of whom will have a few local tenants and a caretaker, various government and institutional buildings have at least some accommodation,in rural areas it's fairly common for holiday homes or converted outbuildings to be abandoned.

Actual settlements getting abandoned are also pretty straight forward, often it's a single factory or large business that went bust, and the people who bought into the area to run shops and such just stayed there. You get this with islands, sometimes long term construction sites. spent enough time sleeping in workers dorms/squats

Status on the usual haunts:
That casino in Kep east of Kampot, thieves wall in spain, the abandoned hotel in croatia,

Is trv dead now or what?

I'm thinking south America, abandoned colonial villas. The ones in Laos used to be nice. Abandoned sections of British hill stations.

My reasoning here is that in south America the abandoned settlements won't be squats, they will genuinely be abandoned due to lack of economic activity. Criminals would have nobody to rob, sell drugs to, travelling to and from them would be to conspicuous, the settlements would be too obvious and not covered enough to hide in. So probably totally abandoned.

I don't know what you mean by abandoned colonial villas, I don't know of any such place. However in Argentina you have Villa Epecuen which was a lakeside tourist resort town founded in 1921 and abandoned in 1985 due to the lake flooding in such a way that permanently left the town half-submerged. It's a popular tourist destination, yet not too touristy and widely-known so as to be full of crowds or feel like an artificial experience. Great place for a STALKER larp experience.

Feels a bit like Prypiat without the radiation.

Also the whole place is covered with a layer of white salt which looks almost like nuclear fallout / dust, again great for the LARP experience.
