There are so few tourist in SE Asia right now that it's a renters' market. I'm staying in Canggu Bali, indonesia right now at a 4 star villa style hotel in a beautiful suite with a large private garden and the hotel has a swimming pool, room service, room made up every day, five minute walk to the beach and I'm paying only $500 US/Month. Even with that crazy low price the hotel has no more than 20% occupancy A room in a villa/retreat such as the one in the video that is more than walking distance to the beach would probably go for about the same price as in the one in the video, around $300 US/month, Considering how touristic Bali normally and tending to be more expensive than most places in Asia that's insane.
