Hi, I’m Billy. I’ve been living in Asia for over 31 years, and it’s truly become my home. I spent 29 years in Japan, 2 years in Vietnam, and I’m currently enjoying life in Thailand, where I’ve been based for the past 3 years.

I created Living in Southeast Asia to inspire travelers, digital nomads, and anyone curious about this vibrant part of the world. On my blog, you’ll find:

• Insider tips on fascinating places to visit

• Recommendations on delicious local foods

• A curated photo gallery capturing daily life and hidden gems

• Honest insights into what it’s like to live here, including the cost of living

Whether you’re planning a short trip, dreaming of a long stay, or even considering relocating, I hope my experiences help you see why Southeast Asia is such a special place.
