Which depends to one's personal preference as with so many best/worst questions like this one. For me living in a small Isaan village is far from the worst. In fact, at this point of my life, tis the best.
Having lived in many places world wide although they all rank from best to worst, when there simply made the best of each and dealt with the worst bits.
Found this to make life pretty much stress free.

I still reckon the ghettos outside Johannesburg would vie for the worst.
Not merely that you have to take a dump in a plastic bag and throw it out the window, but if you were walking past you would have to dodge
other peoples' bags....both groundside and airborne.
Your fascination with other people's faeces isn't surprising but why mention in in two separate posts?
Worst place I've been, most depressing and uncomfortable place? Dhaka. The heat, dust, dirt, teeming masses of people, unbelievable poverty, beggars jostling you at every step (our mistake to knock back a five minute car ride to lunch - opting to walk instead).
We were negotiating a JV with a B-D telco and this was a reciprocative trip to their offices - even the airport is horrible and interestingly the wealthiest areas of the city surround the airport - quick getaway.
Nice one, Skidmark - editing hours later because you were caught out yet again
The question was misunderstood. So I modified it. It even says Edit: in the post you donkeys twat
I still reckon Africa, Darfur in Sudan. Try to beat that one.

No shit, Sherlock . . . that's something you can't control . . . why are you so fucking stupid?

You likely won't find many entries from the lucky country, but I have to say some rural communities in Australia are right shitholes. Low life expectancy, high rates of unemployment, criminality, violence in general, and drug abuse. Yes, I am talking abo places- the few whites have either moved out, or live in barbed wire enclaves and largely keep to themselves. Halls Creek WA, and Wilcannia NSW spring to mind- but there are several others. Then you drive just down the road to the next town (that might be a coupla hundred kilometres in Australia), and it is thriving. Sigh.
Lived in a number of contenders, including Bangladesh and India, but nothing approaches the two-year sentence in the Eastern Province of Saudi.
Done a bit of traveling and I'd have to say some of the small villages in southern Tibet had it the worst I've seen.
Dry, barren land surrounding an army base that kept the locals suppressed. Hardly any food (what they did have was not edible)
We drove from Llasa to Mt Everest in 5 days and saw a lot of poverty.
The best? Here in Phuket is the best I've seen. Especially now without all the tourists.
Can't argue that point. Actually get down into the hardcore areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia its horrific. Makes Thailand look like a top flight country. If someone dropped you in blindfolded and took it off you would swear to go god you had entered the sweaty armpit from hell, Amazing how we say the US is so GREAT. They should narrow that down to saying the few states that are GREAT to live in. Seriously. I have been in many of those areas and it is backwoods hardcore slums. Most those areas even have there own language.
Any of those depressing, crime-ridden northern english cities full of poorly educated monkeys that make unintelligible attempts at the Queen's English. Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool.
Since when has brum been northern? It's at the geographical centre of England. Considerably less of a shithole than London too, imho. But still a bit of a shithole.
