We are just out of Malaysia and Singapore and into Thailand. Thailand seems a lot poorer than Malaysia, but how poor? I did a quick check and here is the list of countries we have visited, sorted by Gross Domestic Product, in international dollars earned per year.
- Singapore (57K)
- USA (47K)
- Australia (39K)
- Canada (39K)
- New Zealand (27K)
- Argentina (15K)
- Chile (14K)
- Malaysia (14K)
- Mexico (14K)
- Panama (12K)
- Peru (9K)
- Thailand (8K)
- Guatemala (4K)
- Bolivia (4K)
- Honduras (4K)
The Netherlands, at 40K, is somewhere between US and Australia. Spain, with 29K is between Canada and New Zealand.

Malasia y Singapur bajan unos cuantos puestos. Riqueza mal repartida.
Interesting info! Nerdy but interesting. It makes me wonder, did you also make a list of how much you spend in each of these counties and thus how much you contributed to their GDP’s?

We actually keep track of how much money we spend on every country, to make sure that we can keep on traveling for as long as possible. We contributed a lot to Australia’s and New Zealand’s….
