Go to Thailand and have money left over after all expenses even air flights!
Never seen my friends spend more than $5 per day on food and that would be splurging out!
renting "Long Term" In Thailand is very cheap as most would prefer rooms rented out in low season as well as high season so jump at monthly or quarterly payments!
Don't know about Bali as there would be less "Expats" than Thailand
so not as many in the same situation to help show them the ropes!(How to become a "Cheap charlie")
Anybody who has been to the "Expat" parts of Pattaya in Thailand would know just how cheap it is to live even in a tourist environment!
Lets hope it doesn't happen to Bali as this is the main thing i like about Bali over Thailand, lots of Expats in Thailand hate tourists as it makes it hard for them during high season because tourist spend money causing seasonal price increases!
