Heading out for the Philippines in about a month. Will spend some time in Manila then head south to settle in Cebu or Davao. Cost of living is quite nice there. And it's a nice location for visiting southeast asia and china pretty conveniently.
Anyone with any experience in the Philippines? I've made regular preretirement visits and like the country.
Third choice if it doesn't pan out ... probably Malaysia.

I met my wife online. She lived in Davao. In 2005 I went there to visit her. Married her in May 2006. We considered retiring there. It was beautiful, but the temp is pretty hot. It was 110 with almost 100% humidity. You could live like a king for sure with house maids and servants, but living the good life among all that poverty and sufferering would be hard for me.
The people are the best in the world. Even though they have nothing they would give you their last bowl of rice.
