South-central Vietnamese coastal town — once a fishing village, now Asia's most-established kitesurf hub thanks to reliable cross-shore winds Nov–Apr. Population spread across a long beachfront strip with Russian-Vietnamese signage everywhere (this was the Soviet-era resort coast and the Russian community stayed). Red and white sand dunes are 30 minutes outside town. Coworking is thin but Wi-Fi at most guesthouses is functional. Vietnam's e-visa (90 days single or multi-entry) is straightforward. Ho Chi Minh City is 4.5 hours by bus or sleeper train; Da Nang is 18 hours up the coast.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
