A study by ScoutLogic evaluated cost of living, connectivity, cultural offerings, healthcare, environmental quality and local digital nomad community engagement to rank global remote-work hotspots for 2025. Sydney placed fifth, with average monthly living costs of $5,728, and attracts nomads through golden beaches, outdoor lifestyle, strong work-life balance and high salaries that offset expensive everyday prices. Bangkok topped the list with a Digital Nomad Score of 68.09, average monthly costs of $2,338 and a perfect 5.0 community score driven by street food, coworking hubs and energetic networking. Nakhon Ratchasima in Thailand ranked second.
And we're not the only ones who think so. The digital nomad lifestyle shows no signs of slowing down, as more and more remote workers pack up their laptops every year and head off in search of affordable living, fast Wi-Fi in cafés and strong community support - and Sydney has been ranked as one of the hottest digital nomad destinations for 2025.
