Living in Perhentian Besar
Malaysia · tropical
Perhentian Besar is a village of roughly 1,000 people on an island in Malaysia. The climate is tropical. It sits well off the usual tourist trail and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,000. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet can be patchy for heavy remote work. People come here for diving, swimming, quiet days.
È un’isola raggiungibile solo poche volte a settimana, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. La sanità privata (4/5) è nettamente migliore di quella pubblica (1/5): metti in conto un’assicurazione. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio. I prezzi degli alloggi sono rimasti fermi negli ultimi cinque anni, cosa ormai rara.
