I couldn't cope with the food ... so I only lasted a few days... on a flight back to Thailand ...wrong of me of course but I just could not believe how hard it was to get decent food at a reasonable price . Not junk food , that's easy and cheap.

Honestly ? Back in the UK, I still own my house in my lifelong riverside town so it would be a no brainer. I'm really only in Thailand as I cannot bring the wife to the UK for about 6-7 years (well, I could go sooner but I do not want to sell).

I'm thinking Iran. Convert to Islam and Bob's your uncle. Beautiful women to look at, well their eyes anyway. If you play your cards right you can live there for free at Evin Prison.

One of the great benefits of living in LoS (or indeed ANYwhere in Asia) is that if, like me, you don't spika de Asian, you don't have to hear people talking WOKE as they do in the Anglosphere.

 

Alas, this benefit is too easily cancelled out in these unsocial media days by simply going to an Angloshere media website to learn the latest news.

 

But to answer the thread question: Defo Spain (except for June to August).  Cheap fruit and wine and wonderful cities and trains (FAST trains) to whisk you between cities.   Seville or anywhere down south.

#2 would be Penang, Malaysia, but the local religion is not exactly hospitable to alcohol.

Cheap, beautiful, modern enough, nice people, easy visa policy...

 

Vietnam? A foreign retiree cannot own in a car in Vietnam, so no way.

Lived 8 yrs in PI, then left because of their extreme covidiocy. Now 3rd year in Thailand, prolly 2 more and then back to PI. Thailand is cool but I feel more at home (and genuinely 'welcomed') in PI, even with it's less than stellar culinary offerings and rougher infrastructure.

didn't know a mathematical constant was a nice play to live and I used to hate math

I thought Vietnam's visa policies made it impossible for long stay/retirement. Personally i think only Cambodia offers an option to Thailand.
