It all comes down to your lifestyle.
Can you live in Bangkok cheaper than Phoenix? Yes.

Your health insurance might not cover medical issues when overseas, or you might have to prepay and get reimbursed when you come back to the USA.

I assume you already own a car? You can bring that car with you to Arizona. You could easily spend $2-$20 per day on taxis/subway in SE Asia, especially if you have some issues with walking long distances on uneven walkways.


I agree with what others said. Take a 30-60 day trip to SE Asia. Stay in a few cities for a week each. See how you feel. If you need some advice on which cities in certain countries, then just ask us.

Or worse
