Alor Setar is a calm, affordable city in northern Malaysia 🌴 It’s great for digital nomads who want lower costs, less crowds, and a relaxed local vibe. You’ll find decent cafés, basic amenities, and easy access to Kedah’s countryside. Wi‑Fi is improving, but it’s best for nomads who prioritize peace over a big startup scene 💻☕
