We love Malaysia, for the awesome fusion of many food cultures and the prices are amazing. The standard of living is higher than much of Asia and housing appears to be built to a higher building code. Once you head into the local communities it is easy to live well on a small budget.

We found Thailand more pricey than the other countries so far. It all depends on where you go, for example I'm sure the quiet villages far from the tourist trail continue to be easily affordable. Also in hotspots like Koh Lipe you can almost double all these figures.
