Where in the world can you get the ABSOLUTE cheapest apartment with modern amenities? Laundry, internet, clean air, etc.

Is it possible to get these with quality food anywhere on earth with rent for like $300?

Middle of nowhere, Vietnam
>>
>>2824056
nope,
Bolivia, Peru and Philippines are cheaper.
>>
>>2824066
In the Philippines you pay much higher premium for decent quality. It is more expensive if you want to live with dignity
>>
>>2824066
>Philippines cheaper than Vietnam
lol sure thing newfag
>>
>>2824066
>Philippines
>cheaper
In a slum maybe

Not my fault you two are retarded and don't know enough of those countries.

But I'd still put Peru above all others if you can speak the language and are not retarded. SA does not reward retardation though, so you subhuman westerners often can't deal with it.

>Peru
Colombia is better

You can get live in a modern apartment in Philippines for $280 a month, but you will need a 1 year lease and 2 months deposit. You will also need to furnish it yourself.
>>

I think our definitions of modern our pretty different. outside of a few cities in PH, modern seems slim to unavailable in the supply. Where are you thinking in terms of neighborhood?

Do any of these places actually have clean air?

Would some rural place like Georgia be better if I'm alright with a slightly more rustic apartment?
>>
>>2824126
>Vietnam
Air sucks
>South America
Air is bretty good but you can get real altitude issues in Peru and Bolivia. Colombia is tolerable. Cusco is an amazing city as a traveler, but I couldn't imagine spending any considerable time living there. One set of stairs felt like three or four.

Batumi, Georgia for almost half the year was about that cheap. I was getting places like that for $300 but as soon as winter was over, the next month jumped to $1,000+.
>>
>>2824107
>can live on $300 a month
>doesn't reward retardation

non main cities of Japan, but the catch is that if you don't know the language and have no Japanese dna, you're probably beaned

280/mo in PH is going to be hostel level at best. You're not getting anything modern with utilities for 280.

300 for a place including utilities is kinda rough.

Malaysia has some stuff
Osaka has some Japanese futon business hotels for ~12-10 a night Toyo Hotel comes to mind. Believe it or not rural Japanese places aren't better in prices most the time.
If you don't mind the "nothing to fucking do" after the first month, look at south Taiwan or Korea.

Oh no he's retarded

Oh fuck it's another "Yeah you don't know the secret traveler hacks! KEK! I do"

Yeah you're always one of those people who knows "the hacks" to live anywhere ever with an insanely small budget yet can never post the examples. You fail to consider the total cost of ownership those "check apartments you only know by speaking the language" never include they need to pay utilities, insurance, security deposit, etc. Great your <300 apartment is now closer if not at 500/mo

Are you fine with line drying your clothes? Many Thai apartments have 30 baht coin-op laundries, but none have driers. Single-story motel style apartments can be had for 3000 baht per month throughout the less desirable provinces. The more desirable provinces have plenty of hotels, which sometimes offer monthly rates and have a coin-op drier on site in addition to the coin-op washer.

You're not getting a spacious well-lit apartment in a slum. Thailand has a tiny fraction of the population density of the Philippines. Compare Bangkok's population density to Manila's.
>>

Kibera slum in Nairobi. About $15pm
>>
>>2824396
Don't forget to mention to OP A/C in the room is more and they will probably add on a foreigner tax. Also these places on the first floor are crawling with bugs.
>>
>>2824054
Bansko, Bulgaria
Not always the quietest place because gypsies are loud sometimes, digital nomad freaks come and stink up the place with their bs, and winter season is a ski resort, but it's very beautiful and affordable
>>
>>2824400
Electricity is usually charged at 9 baht or 0.30 USD per kWh for the listings I saw. And those cheap rooms are never shaded, so they bake in the 34 C sun. If you want the interior temp to stay at 24 C, you're gonna burn through a LOT of juice.
>foreigner tax
Most Thai rooms are very clean and constructed to a good standard of quality. You might have a hard time getting the deposit back at some of those properties, especially if you're a piggish foreigner who wears his shoes indoors and eats take-out meals in the room (roach bait).

>you are a pig if you eat food in your apartment
Are you gay?
