Any DNs out there or have lived there for more than a year that also lived in SEA?

Tell me about the cost of living compared to Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines…etc. What about visas? And the food? Healthcare? People?..

    That’s strange, I have spent long periods of time staying on the Asian side of Istanbul and have never had a bad encounter with a local. Also travelled through south eastern Turkey and only had positive experiences.

      what’s strange about that? obviously not every single traveller is going to be scammed. But in some places it’s 1 in 10 and in others 1 in 1000?

        Yes you are right that it is luck as to whether you become the victim of a scam or not, and some places it is more likely than others, I just find it strange because in many countries I have been to I have seen things like this regularly, but in my many visits to Turkey I haven’t.
