Da Nang is the best beach base for remote work in Asia
Fast Wi-Fi, $500 apartments and a 6-mile beach. Here's the setup.
The lifestyle
Mornings on My Khe beach, work from a café with 100 Mbps Wi-Fi, $2 bánh mì for lunch, and weekend trips to Hội An's lantern-lit old town 40 minutes away.
Monthly costs
Modern 1-bed near the beach: $450–$700. Coworking: $80. Eating out daily: $250. Motorbike rental: $60. Many women live comfortably on $1,200–$1,500.
Visas
Vietnam's e-visa now allows up to 90 days with multiple entries — easy to apply online. Many nomads do visa runs to Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur.
Jamie's quick tips
- Avoid Oct–Nov typhoon season.
- Use Grab instead of street taxis.
- An Hai and My An are the best neighborhoods.
