In Malaysia, for USD 5000, you'd be able to go 4 months on a fairly luxurious budget alone, and that should also cover things like healthcare, housing, public transport, and eating out every day. Flight might take a big chunk of that though.
English is spoken by everyone, race/religion integration is quite good, urban internet is fast. There's enough good food for everyone.
You could probably stretch the budget further in Indonesia. There's more unicorns in Indonesia, so tech and people are a bit more advanced. Salaries are a little lower and tighter. Malaysia & Thailand is mid-range, Singapore is high salary for the region. Bali's a nice place to be and a hub for remote workers; it's often on the benefits list for many companies.
