We stayed in Chaing Mai for about a month, had broadband access. The people we were staying with were renting a large house for about $400 a month. You can take a weekend trip to Cambodia or Vietnam and get a renewed visa when you come back. Or travel around SE Asia in general. You can do that indefinitely and it's quite cheap, even in relatively urban areas. Definitely cheaper than NYC(!)

OK, but if you're only staying for a month, the air fare is going to ruin your budget.

It's not that bad. I think we flew for about $80 round trip. There's always the trains too. :-)

$80 is indeed great but the train is much more exciting ;-)

Why not try India instead? The national language is English so it should be of little problem, plus everything there is super cheap. Buy a bicycle for $10 brand new and there's your transportation.

How much does it cost to rent a small appartment with broadband in a secure neighbourhood in India?
