Best Southeast Asia base (June–Aug) under $1k/month?

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to spend some time in Southeast Asia (June-Aug) and looking for a 1–3 month base (not fast travel).

Main goal: keep it under $1,000/month (rent + basic living) while still having a good lifestyle.

What I’m looking for:

  • Decent apartment (studio/1BR, not luxury but comfortable)
  • Good transport / walkability
  • Gym nearby
  • Healthy food options
  • Reliable internet

Places I’m currently considering:

  • Kuala Lumpur
  • Da Nang
  • Bali / Lombok / Uluwatu

Would love quick insights on:

  • Which of these actually fits sub-$1k/month comfortably?
  • How’s the weather June–Aug (dealbreaker or manageable?)
  • Which would you personally pick for a 1–3 month stay?

Vietnam in June–August — is the weather actually good?

Hi! I’m planning to visit Vietnam between June, July, or August.

Quick question mainly about weather:

- Is the weather generally good for travel, or is it rainy most of the time?

- Does it rain all day or just short showers?

- Is the weather similar across the country, or are some regions much better?

- Out of June / July / August, which month would you personally recommend?

Thanks!
