I used to go 3 months at a time, and some years twice, to either Bali, Thailand, Malaysia , probably lived in each for a year, lived in China for a year also. I opened a bank acc in each country and made a reasonable initial cash deposit. I'm talking a 15 year period of travel starting 20 years ago.?? Your age now > I was a real shoe stringer, never paid much over $10 a night accommodation . Never asked for AC as I wanted to acclimatize and the Ocean was my pool. I remember a cabin on Langkawi Is where I could sit on the front step only a few meters from the lapping waves and watching the sun go down with a couple bottles beer.
The two highlights of those trips was the going and the coming home again.
