6. Kota Kinabalu, Malaysian Borneo
Cost of living: 40.24
In an article published by the New York Times, Borneo, the number 6 in our list of cheapest places to live in the world on the beach was described as the world’s third largest island. It is divided into Indonesia, Malaysia, and the sultanate of Brunei. Living in Kota Kinabalu could be like Bali since both are Asian beach towns, where everything is generally cheaper than anything in America. The town has pristine and well-maintained white beaches, health care centers, cheap rentals, and great food. The rich culture you can learn when you live there is a great bonus, too!
