Ninemsn has named Nha Trang in Vietnam the number one destination among the cheapest locations to live as a digital nomad.

Hanoi has been ranked 5th in the list. The city scores high for being so easy to navigate by foot and expat could live comfortably for US$859 per month.
Ranking 6th is Da Lat city, Lam Dong province in Vietnam. Enjoy Vietnam’s cooler climate in Da Lat, where the cost to live as a digital nomad for a month is an estimated US$909. 
On the list, Nha Trang (Vietnam) is followed by Kathmandu (Nepal), Lviv (Ukraine), Queretaro (Mexico), Hanoi (Vietnam), Da Lat, Bighkek (Kyrgyzstan), Kaohsiung (Taiwan, China), Chiang Rai (Thailand), Colombo (Sri Lanka).
