While the price is almost similar in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, it is lesses in Laos and Philipines. The second expensive country after Singapore would be Vietnam and the lease expensive would be China.

Secondly, let’s discuss about GDP. It is again the highest in Singapore while the lowest in Laos. Except Singapore, all the remaining countries is less than $11000. The difference between Singapore and second highest GDP country Malaysia is almost 5 times. It is evident from this that people earn more in Singapore.
