If you could live anywhere in Asia where would you go?

I’ve been having trouble in the last month living in the west and want to move to Asia with my husband and our two dogs. His family are scattered around Asia.

My dream is the beach life, good healthcare and friendly people where I feel safe.

I thought first of Thailand but have been told it can be unsafe, what would you suggest? I’ve visited Singapore and loved it but we would like something more for a beach lifestyle if it exists there

Owning land would be great eventually too

    The question to ask is, what country will allow me to move there on a permanent basis, You cannot just show up and say “I am moving to your country”. You need a resident visa to live in another country. That’s the place to start. Many countries offer “golden” visas for the wealthy, or for those starting a business and employing locals. Another visa is for those who have a steady pension, typically retirees. Find out what, if any, resident visa you could apply for.

        not “permanently”. Malaysia has two types of non-work visas, a 5 year retirement visa that requires you to have a whopping 8.5k USD of monthly income, and a 1-2 years digital nomad visa that requires 2k USD salary in the IT sector. None of these visas lead to getting permanent residence in the country.
