This coastal Vietnamese city offers a genuinely affordable nomad lifestyle. Expect to pay around $280/month for a 1-bedroom in the center, or just $180 outside. Eating out is incredibly cheap – a budget meal is $3, a mid-range affair just $8, and groceries run about $130 monthly. This makes it perfect for digital nomads prioritizing budget over bustling city vibes. The internet speed is decent at 55 Mbps, and with six coworking spaces, you'll find places to plug in. However, the English proficiency is low, so be prepared for a language barrier. The nomad community is small, meaning less networking but perhaps more authentic local immersion. The biggest caveat? While overall safe, the walkability is just okay, and healthcare might be a concern for some with a score of 55.
