Please DO NOT Move to Da Nang [I live here]

Bali is cooked. Chiang Mai is closed. Da Nang is next. I've lived in all three as a digital nomad, and after 8+ years abroad I chose the one I tell people not to move to. One of these places has immigration officers scrolling through creators' Instagram accounts. One told me exactly when I'm allowed to come back. And the one I picked has a problem that gets worse every month I stay. If you're deciding where to live in Southeast Asia in 2026 as a digital nomad, remote worker, or creator, this is the Bali vs Chiang Mai vs Da Nang comparison I wish someone had given me: The two things that keep me from going back to Bali What Thai immigration said to me on my last trip The one city outside Asia I'd actually move to, and why What decided it for Da Nang, Vietnam (not the beach, not the food, not the price) Why I still don't recommend moving here My real monthly cost of living, at the very end CHAPTERS 0:00 The city I chose 0:32 Bali: what changed after I left 6:52 Chiang Mai: what immigration told me 9:49 The one place I'd leave Asia for 10:46 The real reason I picked Da Nang 14:44 What I spend every month 🎙️ I run Impact Podcasting, a podcast management company for coaches and doctors: https://www.impactpodcasting.com 📸 Instagram:   / themarvinchronicles   🎬 UGC Portfolio: https://themarvincreates.my.canva.site/ Which of the three would you pick?
