The data is very outdated. Cost of living has increased by 96% in the last year alone

I spent six months in Da Nang. 7 million apartment, bills included, studio style, very comfortable, near to beach. food and drinks are cheap in local places. Avoid franchises. 800 usd was my budget for the month, but I would stretch it to 1000 next time.

2500/month for two people, all in is what it takes to live like a westerner here. $700/person to live like a local.
