What’s the cheapest place I could live in the world for a year? I don’t need entertainment costs, I’m not picky about food, and I would just need a clean studio with hot showers.

In Yogyakarta, Indonesia, you can live happily only for $1 – 2 per day (excluding accomodation). Currently I stay in Jogja to run a startup company. We rented a 3 bed rooms house (with area around 200m2 ) for Rp 18millions ($1500 annually). Just outside the house, some food sellers go around the resident area to find people who's starving and looking for food. Here's what I frequently eat for my lunch. Chicken satay: 15 sticks of it and two rice cakes (lontong) for Rp 5000 (40 cents). Whaaaattt, right? Haha. True story. edit: additionally, Yogyakarta is rank #20 in the list 52 Places to Go in 2014 by NYTimes

I really think you should consider Thailand. They have amazing beaches with wifi. Lunches / Dinners go for around $.50 and you can get a bungalow or decent house for a few hundred dollars a month. They are super friendly to all cultures and have amazing food. The startup scene is not massive there but you are close to Singapore and Malaysia.
