The second position went to Hoi An Ancient City in the central province of Quang Nam. Known as the ‘Yellow City' of Vietnam, many of the buildings in its landmark-packed historic center are of a distinct ocher colour, the website wrote.

According to Travel off Path, Hoi An is somewhere you can go for the laid-back, laptop-friendly cafes, cultural wealth, and to escape the hustle and bustle of the country's bigger cities.

Out with the buzzing traffic and the glass-clad skyscrapers, in with the picturesque Japanese pagodas, ornate Chinese temples, and French-era civic buildings that wouldn't look out of place in Europe, these features a testament to Hoi An's thriving multiculturalism, it noted.

Mentioning the central coastal city of Da Nang, ranking fourth in the list, the website quoted, “It's the popular starting point for accessing the Ba Na Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty full of unique geological formations, nature trails, and limestone outcrops crowned with ancient pagodas, not to mention it's fringed by pristine beaches.”

Travel off Path suggested tourists should not miss out on tasting a bowl of pho in a family-run eatery which can cost as little as US$1.58 in Da Nang.

Topping the list is the second largest city in Thailand, Chiang Mai, which is famous for its lively night markets.

Others to feature in the Top 5 cheapest digital nomad destinations in Asia for 2025 are Phnom Penh of Cambodia and Makassar of Indonesia.
