Which of the cities are the cheapest for electrical/clothing/merchendise?

And which city would be the easiest to pick up some teaching work in?

I am keen to try out my export idea and am considering the three afore mentioned cities.

Any input is grately accepted.

Yes, that's Bangkok. LOADS of teaching jobs there.

Probably debatable. Bangkok has a lower cost of living than HK and clothing is pretty cheap, but it's probably no cheaper than KL. Electric/electronic stuff may be cheaper in HK than BKK.

Bangkok would be the cheapest but are you expecting to have money when you go home after your teaching stint? I'd avoid Thailand altogether if that is an expectation.

Very good point. That's the reason there is a lot of work there, because no one is paying very much. Even with the cheaper cost of living, you won't save much money while teaching. Sad
