"Coming up to redemption of some investments in 24 onwards which means need to factor in a tax domicile.

Usually would reside in Dubai/Carib but with kids not ideal.

Looking at the tax side Cambodia/Laos would be ideal (or Singapore/Malaysia) however not ideal with the free-flowing borders (entire household - nannies, teachers etc) for babies/kids "

 

Pretty sad you put money and tax break ahead of your kids well being....

 

Spend your dough on kids, stay in EU, like Canary Islands, and they will take care of you.

 

If you were alone, why not 3rd world countries for kicks?

 

Not sure i follow you.

 

I pay for 4 nannies, 2 teachers... that's private... that means i am putting my kids future as utmost importance, at sub 1 yr old, they generally don't have much to do.

 

In future they go to school in Singapore, Switzerland, and then the US, banking funds allows that.

 

So again not sure how you equate your statement. 

 

As for the EU, Canary islands, the European Union is collapsing, the Bank of Germany is broke, Germany is the back bone of Europe, you understand what happens when the train falls of the track for society at large?

 

The UK is bankrupt likewise...

 

Not exactly an ideal place to 'settle to', and its a 'privileged idea where one thinks moving to Europe = better life, you can bring the best aspects of Western society to you without having to deal with the bad aspects. 

 

So perhaps actually 'read', 'process', 'formulate a response' based on what i've written opposed to your own biasm.

3) I live in Thailand, comparably to Switzerland (my home in Europe) it's a <deleted>hole, having said that it has its charms, and i am content with them, i don't socialise too much either so don't really take in a lot of the drawbacks, mainly i do building (a new home, renovation a existing home to keep my mind busy) meaning being 'at home is ideal', that leaves shopping - i imagine Laos/Cambodia has malls or international delivery (amazon etc), so Laos/Cambodia is no different to Thailand to suit my purposes.

 

If you think Thailand is a <deleted>hole, then Laos/Cambodia is 100 times more of a <deleted>hole than Thailand. Why on earth are you even trying to consider such countries?

 

If you like shopping malls all over the place like in Thailand, Laos is definitely not like that.

If you're putting your kids future as utmost important, no way would you even think about Laos or Cambodia.

You mentioned kids..and I gather,you are well-off.

Malaysia all the way.

Singapore is a notch higher but too small for my taste.

I lived in Thailand and have spent time in both Laos and Cambodia which I enjoy but imagine Thailand 50 years ago and you might get an idea
