Hello Luis Alarid, Sounds like a well-thought-out plan! Let us know how it goes. Thanks for commenting Luis Alarid, it helps grow our channel. Best, Dan
Just moved back to the USA after 15 years in the Philippines. I lived on Cebu, and also Palawan. Iโm thankful to be back in the USA. I agree with your choice of Camiguin. My wife and I had our honeymoon on Camiguin. Itโs a slow paced, quiet place where nothing much happens, peaceful and beautiful.
Thanks for sharing! If you would like to share why you are happy to be home and things you didn't like about living in the Philippines, please let me know: vagabondbuddha.com/contact/
Iโm glad to see that you have included several Mexican cities in your list, especially Oaxaca. That is a beautiful, safe, inexpensive city with colonial and native culture in abundance. The food is some of the finest in the world, with excellent restaurants in all price ranges and several great cooking schools. This is the center of the Day of the Dead festivities, which is a sightseerโs and photographerโs dream. Iโve been there five times and canโt wait to return.
Great story David Ferry. Thank you for sharing it with us. in Fact, Oaxaca is my favorite city in Mexico. I just love it. Your interaction with our channel helps us get subscribers and views, so we really appreciate it. Best, Dan
Good job! Iโve been to every place, except the Phils and canโt argue about your choices. We all have preference and this short video was a good attempt to help viewers who are considering life abroad.
Totally agree!
ur missing the best one than
It has been a few years since I was last in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They were finishing the spires on the Petronas Twin Towers, amazing architectural masterpieces. Malaysia is a beautiful country, with delicious food, and beautiful people!
I love it too.
@@jeancampbell4341 After many years of traveling, I have found it is best to form your own opinion of places. Everything is relative and constantly changing. I would never want to miss seeing something because it is hot or the air has some pollution.
Most useful and beautiful! I really enjoyed seeing you too happy, gorgeous, and fit-looking in the images. Kudos!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@VagabondAwake TO travel around the world and live well--how much USD do u spend per year?
Yes the smiles speak volumes of you and your lovely wife.
We have a home on Bohol, Philippines, our little Eden. Our little town of Anda is beautiful, safe, friendly and numbers of white sand beaches are minutes from our door.
Lets do lunch the next time we are in Bohol?
I've retired comfortably on $7,860 a year in the USA and Europe....already lived in Europe for half of 2020.
I would love to hear your story sometime if you are willing Arthue. PLease send me an email and paste your comment in the email. vagabondbuddha.com/contact/
Thanks,
Dan
I'm thinking the Louisiana swamps in a trailer? Close?
we're moving to Belize. Very lovely, friendly folks, expat friendly, cheap if you live like a local, warm weather year round, awesome beaches, center of Mayan culture, the beautiful Caribbean. PLUS English is the national language !!!!
Thanks for the tips! What sort of budget to you keep per month there?
Curious what your budgeting when planning the move as well.
@@VagabondAwake We sold a house in California and have savings. I can work by telecommute - have that lined up - and I am old enough for SSI. We have not moved there yet, thank goodness - floods, etc. Will be there by the high season.
@@boomafoo9 See my response to Vagabond, please. Basically we decided to make this move because we cannot afford to live in the USA.
Expect $$$
Great job on this video! Looking forward to more.
Thank you!
Another good video Dan. The choices were all good from what I can see. I think for someone like myself a lot would depend on how much English is understood and spoken in any given country, but the quality of food would be a big influence too. I could easily live in a place like Dumaguete myself.
Great point! This is a very personal decision. Plus, I recommend doing a tour of multiple places before deciding. Thanks for commenting. It helps our business grow. Best, Dan
I really enjoyed listening to this.... Health care is spot on as well yes? At ones retirement this is helpful to know. thanks again!
You are welcome. Thanks for listening Maria.
Thanks always enjoy your videos, much more thorough than most other travel vids..I wonder if it's just me, but I would like some insight into the "tranquility" factor of the various places. The cities look wonderful in Malaysia and Vietnam but the pictures do not show the endless throngs of noisy motorbikes, for example. I'd love to know if there is a possibility of living in a quiet place in the various places you covered and how they compare. Thanks for good info!
Noted. :-)
Wow fantastic video and international summary. Thank you! โบ๏ธ
Glad you enjoyed it!
I stand in Penang for 7 weeks on a business trip back in 2007. I love this inland!
Really appreciate this video! We're exploring the world now, planning to relocate at least part of the year outside the US. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
God job, man, enjoy life, you are on a roll !!
Thanks, will do!
My husband idea of vacation: 10 days road trip with $5000 US dollars.He called me frugal, I called him Asiong Aksaya, meaning he wanted to waste hard earned money on 10 days vacation every year.The same amount of money can easily accommodate both of us for 10 months in the Philippines since we already have a house in the Philippines, and expenses are just food, electricity, wifi, water and bus / tricycle rides.
Bummer. I feel your pain.
Congratulation over 522,000 views already, speaks to your content and wow, a lot of people thinking about (or already) retiring overseas.
Thank you Formica! :-)
Thank you Dan, that was a 100% useful
Great to hear!
;How lucky did I get to be able to start planning my semi- retirement? After barbering for nearly 30 years,I hold the lease in a hot neighborhood with a storefront. Iโm paying way under market value,so I can lease my space out for 4 times what Iโm paying and live off of that income! Never in a million years would I have ever thought my quality of life could be so amazing. Sitting here in the U.S struggling to make ends meet, not having enough money to truly take care of myself physically and emotionally. Moving to Da nang is going to change my health, my personal growth and having the time to travel, eat well get 2 massages a week Ha! Meet people and appreciate a diverse culture. This is what life was meant to be. I could never afford the lifestyle I crave if I continue to kill my self working like a slave with little time or money to enjoy it. Why keep ourselves tied down here? Sell everything and do this people! I canโt wait! Thank you for all the info!

Just entering that phase of life now. I have traveled with work and leisure for years globally and have to say Chiang Mei was on my top of the list. As the pandemic eases up I will be once again heading to VN and Thailand for 90 - 120 day "live as a local" tests before I put down my stake. You've given me some other places to test with this post. Thank you for the ideas and thoughts and be well to you and your beautiful wife.

Congrats Dan and Qiang! Your channel is really blowing up, so many comments here now!
I have been following a while and you put out some great solid advice.
Would love to see a list of places with best organic food, least air pollution, least noise all while be fun, liveable and cheap. In general this just means don't live in major cities but coming from the PNW i know i can struggle trying to find unspoiled and unpolluted living areas in the world and i love SE Asia and am looking to base out of there but
i find it unhealthy breathing exhaust in the bigger cities. Its tough getting it all but i look for clean air, food and water for a place to live which during the burning season means living on the coast in SE Asia. Bangkok was terrible last winter. All the best!
Do you like growing your own? Some people just get a small peice of land away from the hustle qand bustle and just create their won world? I need more urban interaction than that. :-)
@@VagabondAwake Hey, yes i do like to grow my own food but it's tough with land prices in the West to make economic sense of producing your own food when an acre locally costs 750k...i am shopping for a SE asian home this fall again with the world opening up and will be looking at this very issue.In a tropical climate you can grow a lot of fruit and veg and a small courtyard area year round and yes a small 1/2 acre you are set.
I never watch these!!!!! After seeing the same slick boring presentation and the stoopid voice and.... Today this caught my eye!!! I was jumping like a kid with excitement! I said to my friend... U have to see this... "this fellow is unique" beautifully spoken... sincere.... The places came alive..... What a wonderful experience. Thank you so much for your beautiful EVERTHING! LOVE FROM DOMINIQUE RUOCCO, LIVING IN THE PITS OF DEAR OLD SOUTH AFRICA!!! ITS A HARD PLACE TO LIVE!!!... I SUBSCRIBED. AAAH MOLTO GRAZIA XXX
Welcome to our party. I have been to Kruger., Loved it.
Pick a top 3 places for me: non Asian country. Priorities are: safety, minimal budget, lots of swimming available, but also want to be staying in the city, lots of culture and nightlife, museums, architecture, history.
You should slow travel Eastern Europe and select a favorite, starting from Turkey up through Estonia.
Excellent information! Thank you! Planning ahead......
Glad it was helpful Sonia!
great video, i've only heard of a few of these places, and have not been to any of them.
You should check out a few that seem interesting to you.
Great selection! Very different and far superior to more mainstream "Retire Cheap" guides!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this list Dan ... really good info
Glad to hear it! ;-)
FYI the Philippines has a large amount of former US military both retired and veterans who have moved there , there is still a department of veteran affairs medical care clinic there .
True. Thanks for sharing Ronald.
Folks, for a westerner who busted his ass working for 30-40 years, the ticket is southern Europe. Portugal, Spain, and especially Greece. I chose the latter and was the smartest decision I ever made. Cost of living somewhere between 1/2 and 1/3 of that of US, amazing climate, breathtakingly beautiful country, culture, history, cuisine. And a few very important things that you may not realize until it s too late: 1. top notch healthcare (there are insurance options). Actually, for years, my taking the family to a Greek dentist offset the cost of the entire trip. 2. Safety. All this beauty in Mexico wont do me a damn good if a gunman breaks into my home and kidnaps me and my family. thanks but no thanks 3. Infrastructure: great highways, shiplines, and 5G internet (under construction) at a fraction of the US cost. 4. Best of all: the people. Very friendly and hospitable, extremely cosmopolitan, English peaking by most, and really fun to be with. And at the end of the day, it is the people that make all the difference.
Great advice. I am a lover of Greece also. If you have a budget of $2k ish, it is a great choice.
Tnks for shearing. I enjoyed watching. Will.keep in mind. Hopefully these places will remain safe and affordable to live and survive
I hope so too! The world is changing so fats now. We can hope though. :-)

I dunno bud, I couldn't recommend Vietnam any more. It's a great place, good people, but hoo boy is it polluted: air, land, and water. ๐คข
We enjoyed Vietnam. One of our favorite places in SE Asia. Didn't really see much more pollution than anywhere else in SE Asia.
Spent part of 1972 there. I would never go back.
Vietnam is highly government controlled. We went there for 10 days last year and found that the people have not been well cared for.
Which country do you recommend now?
@@patrickgallagher7308 One party authoritarian government, like all SEAsian governments though, practically speaking. Even Singapore. Curious how you thought people were not well cared for? They don't have European/American style socialism with free schools, free medical, assistance programs for poor and disabled, but no poor countries do. How do you see Vietnam different?
Im Australian married to a Vietnamese Lady..we were married in Nha Trang and have beautiful wedding pictures on the beach .
We also have a home in a town called EaKar about 1.30 km away last time l was there we travelled to Hoi Ann and Da Nang ..
I find that Da nang is my favourite place in Vietnam
I love DaNang too. But I would do winters in Nha Trang and summers in Da Lat. :-)
@@VagabondAwake yes Da Lat is very beautiful and alot cooler
I enjoyed that .....That was great content ...
Glad you enjoyed it
don't forget the hot and cold springs in Camiguin, along with the sunken cemetery and volcanic observatory!
Good point! I cover that here Julie: vagabondbuddha.com/best-things-to-do-camiguin-island/
Thanks for commenting. It helps our business grow. Best, Dan
Camiguin is boring . I know first hand!!! After two days you have done it all. =!! Get ready for sorry sir. Out of stock, . And you cant buy beef are almost everything is limited. And the ATM goes out for up to a week.
Dan, fantastic video -- much better than the 'click-bait' top 10 list that got me here. Compiled by someone who actually visited all the countries & narrated in a human voice, not a robot / autonarrator. Just checked out your website, too. Do you do your own website design and content (or just content)? If yes on both counts, any free resources or readily accessible books (library) that you can recommend? If not, how do you outsource basic layout and then updates to content? How has COVID affected your travels and income (i.e. where did you decide to 'hole up')?
I do everything myself. Stay tuned. I may do a course.
Awesome video! Sending my support here.
Awesome thank you!
Very good info and very interesting. Some places I have to visit. Some places in Africa should feature as they are stunning and cheap too!
Where do you recommend?
I fully agree with you choosing Nha Trang as #1!
I lived in Thailand for several Years in the early 2000s but I am heading to Nha Trang as soon as all this is over for retirement.
The present Thai government has made a mockery of that country.
Too bad! ๐ฅ
Nationalism is making Thailand unpleasant ... much of the world is falling for it. Sad.
Why would you want to live in the tourist area at all? Too expensive. Live in the Vietnamese neighborhood I recommend in my retire cheap report.
I love Nha Trang and have been there twice. I was a little concerned because of the July change of immigration policy, but I have a realtor friend and she assured me that I will not be affected by the change. Border runs from there every 30 days would be very inconvenient.
So can you stay invietnamn long term or do you have to keep exiting the country, I didnโt think they had a retirement visa as succh
@@darrenaustralia3623 you used to be able to make a border run every 90 days, or it was easy to get a 1-year business visa as an American, even without a business. That is all over. Starting July 2020, monthly renewal outside the country is going into effect. I had a realtor friend tell me that it will not be a problem staying, so I will see.
THANK YOU DAN
Thank you EDMOND PHAREZ! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
I've only been to the Mexican cities and I would agree with Oaxaca and Gunajuato; I would grade the weather and food better in Oaxaca and Guanajuato is a little warmer and probably the most beautiful city in Mexico with a more lively/musical/artistic flair. Playa de Carmen beaches are not what they used to be because of the Sargazo and the heat can be suffocating if you're not lying on the beach. Plus, you have to deal more with tourist and tourist prices.
I agree with your thoughts. :-)
all your videos are top shelf, thanks
Glad you like them!
Great video! Really enjoying it. Out of Cusco, Buenos Aires, Canggu Bali, Chiang Mai and others I would choose Canggu... except you have to get your Visa situation in hand which can be challenging. Safe Travels and thanks for the informative video!
Thanks for the tips!
Retirement visas are easy in bali/Indonesia. It takes about 2 months to get so you can arrive on a visa on arrival and apply while there. They cost about $600 a month, once you got it you can leave as many times as you please or never leave. The retirement visa/kitas gives you the ability to buy cars and motorcycles in your name. So are not required to put any money in a bank (like the philippines) but I believe you must show sufficient funds such as $1800-2000 a month income.
This service can walk you through it. They are professional and reliable. baliviza.com/
@@jeffwisener1378 I looked at that website, I think you mean $600 per year, although the application costs $630. I don't know for sure, looks complicated.
Absolutely beautiful photos . The model really complemented the scenery. Now I really want to travel.
You should! Thanks for watching. Don't giver up on your dreams. Just makes ones worth the work. less shit, less overhead, less stress, more life.

Sorry , it entered in my mind. I noticed the were just awesome.
Your budgets in all of these places range from about $1000 to $2000 for many people. But you will have to do some exploration before you will know what your budget will be.
I lived 45 years in the USA itโs time to go l am looking at dahab in Egypt a sleepy little village on the Red Sea popular for diving few expats
Good restaurants you can live very well for under $1000 a month the real attraction is the national bank cd rat average 10% for the last 20 years l donโt think I will run out of money
I am still on the look
Hey Sherif Boshra, thanks for sharing this idea. I appreciate the ideas. Have you done any dating there? Thanks for commenting too. When people comment, our videos are suggested to more people. So thank you so much! Best, Dan
I came to Thailand planning to visit for a month or two. Eight years later I am still here and in love with the place. Immigration has not been much of a problem, either has Coronavirus
Cool. I would love to share your story with others if you please Da Vid. Would you be willing to d o phone interview audio or video for my subscribers? Best, Dan

I lived in Thailand for 10 years, i just bought a house there, and will retire there when the travel ban lifts. Not sure about the retirment welcome mat no there any more....I will get a marriage visa which is a lot freindlier than the retirment visa. Immigration did not tell me about a health insurance requirement....but who knows I will find out soon. I speak Thai so I can live in a rural area, if you dont, I would like in a more poulated area then English will srever you fine. Please tell us why you think Thailand is no longer retiree freindly and how to best deal with those issues if you do retire there. Thank you for the great video.

For someone like me who doesn't like a hot climate Porto and the city you talked about in Peru sound like good alternatives.
True. Here is more Erik: czcams.com/video/sCpEDC--lak/video.html
Agreed with you on Thailand. I lived in Chiang Mai for nearly 4 years after trying Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket. To me, Chiang Mai is really the only livable place in terms of normalcy and being able to find "real Thailand". However, the govt and Thai Elites are still unfortunately quite xenophobic and just really don't want us foreigners there for any extended period. After years spent there, I think it really boils down to a westerner feeling their have the right to fairness and being able to voice their thoughts freely... whereas Thais inherently will bow to any pressure at all from someone in a higher social position. Until they change that mentality... that those in higher positions should be able to whatever they want without criticism or even the appearance of logic and fairness... then they should remain off everyone's list. Their visa system is awful and as a foreigner, Thai logic says you should just be grateful to be there at all. Not a good approach for making people feel welcome or wanted.
Their economy deepnds a great deal on tourism so I suspect they will return to their earlier path eventually.
@@VagabondAwake I very much that will happen if they don't change their destructive self inflicting narrow minded xenophobic mentality, they're way too insular to consider anything different of what they think they know.
Well...Iโm not officially retired but living temporarily in Philippines for $500 US.
I would love to hear more about it if the mood strikes
Amalia. If so please email me your contact information and your above message. Best, Dan vagabondbuddha.com/contact/
I' very surprised you are living with 500 usd. Where are you living, what kind of accomodation do you have? What kind of food do you eat, i suppouse a local food, becasuse you can forget to taste a western food, unless you pay good money for a bottle of imported wine. I' living in thailand and belive me with 500 usd even the thai people can' t leave here. It got so expensive.
Saverio Cannata Actually with Covid-19 Iโm spending less money. Cooking healthy cook meals at home, plenty of fruits and veggies. I eat ocean fish and free range chicken. Once in a blue moon I will eat pork and I donโt eat red meat. I only eat 2X a day and itโs enough for me...late breakfast and dinner. I havenโt drink wine for months plus with lockdowns grocery stores canโt sell alcoholic drinks and people really canโt drink. Not a problem for me. I live outside Manila. I just pay electric, water and internet bills.
Yes, I'd agree if you're cooking your own food instead of dining out, then $500 usd a month would be fairly reasonable. It wouldn't be as luxuriuosly convenient by Western standards, but at the barest minimum it'd be still pretty decent. Nothing beats a nutritious home-cooked meal
Thanks for opening my eyes with those hidden gems. Like Plato used to say " I am not Greek nor Athenian I am citizen of this planet "
Plato was a smarty pants for sure. Thanks for sharing. Alain.
Nha Trang.....did not expect that....will check it out. Was expecting DaNang....good point for leaving out Chang Mai.
Not surprised. Most people just copy what everyone else says. Very little independent thought on travel channels.
Guanajuato is beautiful! The cheaper, cooler little sister of San Miguel.
I totally agree!
Great tips for early retirement planning! It's essential to explore affordable options worldwide. Planning ahead can lead to a fulfilling retirement journey.
Very informative, but I wish you could give important details about the healthcare access of each country. It makes a big difference, for people with chronic conditions.
Thanks for the constructive criticism. I'll try to work that into the next version of this video. Best, Dan
Excellent and very thorough! Great pictures. We are winding down, preparing to depart from the rat race, and found this very informative. How does your wife travel with her hat and keep it from falling apart?!
Its one of those totally bendable hats that you can even put in luggage.
First time watching your channel. I have kinda moved on from Thailand after a few years there. Thinking of trying Dumaguete next.
Go for it! vagabondbuddha.com/retire-on-800-month-in-dumaguete-philippines/
I am Filipino, go for it. You won't regret it.
I was at camiguin island before, no working atm at that time on the island, barely had enough pesos after renting a room there to take the ferry back to the mainland. Third world places can be troublesome sometimes not wishing to take plastic
They have ATM there now. We loved that place.
Thank you for the list and update - some of your choices surprised me like Vietnam. I like Puerto Vallarta and the places you mention in Mexico. My brother lives in Dumaguette, so I will visit there. We appreciate your experience!!
Vietnam is a great country. It's affordable for Westerners and good food.
Thanks for sharing!
The food is the best.
I agree - Puerto Vallarta should be in the top three- safe, wonderful people, affordable, close to the USA, good medical
tons of expats in duma .....
This will be a popular subject soon, people leaving the former USA.
True. Neither side is happy anymore.
Dan I highly recommend Anchorage, Alaska as your next paradise location. I have been living here for over 30 years and I have not yet bored with this place. The oil price just crashed. There are going to be reasonably price Airbnb for rental as gluts of homes are going into foreclosure in the future when oil jobs dry up. Alaska is really a new frontier and still has that true pioneer spirit; this is what America is all about.
I have never been Mark. I will have to check it out. Best, Dan
Vagabond Awake there is a sense of grandeur which is really hard for me to put it in words. You really have to see Alaska for yourself. The best time to come is April before the summer tourist season.
I'm from Fairbanks and I don't recommend Alaska for retirement. Cost of living is very high here.
Anchorage hardly meets the cheap criteria.
st1300 it depends on your definition of cheap. Compare to what? Everyone has a different opinion.
Wow NHA Trang the first place I visited in Vietnam in 99.. it was a sleepy city then and the airport was right in the city not far away like now...now itโs overdeveloped and overvisited ..progress
What is your favorite spot in Vietnam?
Vagabond Awake I like it all but Saigon is truly a fascinating city....New York on Steroids!
Ok, I watched the video and then I read each and every comment, and replies to comments. Now I wish to set many of you straight on many things concerning Mexico. 1. I have lived in Mexico City since 1980. Crime, of course. But like Vagabond said, in many cases and places, the US is worse. I raised my son here, who is now a successful professional, and not once, from pre-K through University did we ever experience problems with guns in schools, massive killing of students in grade schools by other grade school students, or anything of the sort. 2. Food and people, absolutely terrific. Even the more expensive cities in Mexico are going to be cheap with anyone having USD incomes. Of course, the exceptions are going to be the beach resorts, that is why they are called resorts. So, Dan, sorry, dude, but really do not understand how you could even think of recommending Playa del Carmen if your criteria is for it to be economical for retirement. 3. Oaxaca is a terrific ccity, one of my favories, but unfortunately the uncontrolled Teacher's Union tends to take over the the city center more times than not, making it impossible to enjoy, never mind live. 4. Guanajuato is absolutely beautiful, full of culture, and the site of the yearly Cervantino festival. But yes, it is a university town, making it more suitable and bearable for young people. I am talkin in terms of retiring / living there. To visit, terrific. 4. Mรฉrida (pronounced Mรฉr-ee-dah), also known as la Ciudad Blanca. Beautiful, the food, to die for, but the heat is to die in. Not only is the heat swelterin 10 out of 12 months a year. it is the sticky, muggy sort of heat, reaching as high as 50ยบC. That makes NYC is August seem like a picnic. But it has a very low crime rate. Unfortunately, with climate change, it has been the site of tough hurricanes, but all in all, I can certainly think of worse places in the world to live. 5. Querรฉtaro (pronounced Ke-rรฉ-tah-row) is the absolute best. It is in the Mexican bajรญo region, a city with all the amentities and benefits of a modern city, but not the negative aspects of something so huge like Mexico City, or Monterrey, or even Guadalajara. Once again, you can live quite comfortably at affordable prices if you have a USD income; for instance monthly social security check. I have a house there, and intend to move in about a year, to retire. I can't wait. I hope this has been of help. And please, leave your stereotypes of Mexico back where you live. Is there crime, of course. Are there places to stay away from, of course. Every country has that.
Very thoughtful Rosita. Thanks for sharing. Dan
Rosita FRESITA Thank You!
there are two small cities in mexico that are absolutely marvelous to live in, 1 san cristobal de las casas in chiapas and san miguel de allende in guanajuato iยดd put oaxaca in 3rd place.
Great video Dan all your videos are great and i appreciate them very much keep them coming!!
Glad you like them!
I am building a house on my wife's property near Kalasin, Isaan, Thailand. I prefer Thailand as its central. If we want, we can drive 11 hours to Da Nang or spend $150 to fly to Krabi, Cambodia, etc. We have a cheap condo in BKK for transiting etc. I dont see any recent issues that make it harder to retire there. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. So you think all the negativetity is over blown about Thailand right now.
@@VagabondAwake I am probably not as fully informed as you may be. And if there is a lot of negativity, I would love to see what media, newspapers etc delivers this sentiment. I do know the Baht is rather high which is a deterrent. And medical insurance for older retirees is not as easy as it was years ago. It could be just the case that the retiring market in Thailand is getting to a saturation point (in the main ex-pat areas) and a levelling off will naturally occur. But please share any sources of ex-pat news media. I would be very interested. Thanks again!
Be carful your Thailand wife might dumb you after you finish building the house , you should be aware of that my friend. Watch videos in CZcams about many many westerners got bankrupt and kicked out out of Thailand after their wives or girlfriends took all their money ๐ฐ
I'm surprised you didn't have Lombok, Indonesia on your list. Lombok is quieter, cheaper and what Bali used to be 30 years ago.
Thanks. I added it to my list of places to see.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Dan ! Lovely pictures.
You are very welcome Mark.
TY Dan appreciate your 15 Best Places to retire. As far as language barriers though Hoi An in Vietnam is English widely spoken there ? How would Belize rank against Oaxaca ? I am liking Belize as a possible retirement destination. Its also closer to the US where I am now.
I haven't spent enough time in Belize to have an opinion. Sorry Alan.
@@VagabondAwake Belize is great for scuba/snorkeling, but it is hot & humid, and has too many bugs once you return to shore.
Hi Dan, thanks excellent videos. Beautiful photos and discriptions, well researched.
However the un melodious background music is extremely distracting. Please change it.
Tony
Thanks for the tips!
Jeremy from Jersey just subscribed
Thanks Jeremy. Welcome aboard.
Thanks again for all that you are doing. Great info as always ๐
So nice of you
Iโm retiring in the next 3 years. Iโm not planning on buying property so I can go anywhere and anytime. I believe the Philippines has the best home base for those looking at having a relationship with a local and settling down. Because I plan on moving around SE Asia I will have the opportunity to visit many places you have visited and find a few of my own. Your videos and website are a wealth of information and I thank you both for that. The one thing I struggle with is health insurance. I have watched many videos on this and Iโm still uncertain what to do. Muddy waters indeed. Any advise you could throw my way would be appreciated. Stay safe and live large.
Thank you Master Smith.
Yeah i agree to those south-east Asia destinations! But hey.. have you ever been to the canary islands? Touristic at some locations but still authentic in others,
A lovely place with nice folks, scenery, cuisine and pices.. i'am a big fan of canary island life style and Will probably retire there!
Not yet! Thanks for the tip. Other friends have mentioned it too. What is your budget there?
Iโm surprised I didnโt see more Philippians cities because I hear so much about it
We only were able to investigate 5 cities in the Philippines when the Pandemic closed the borders. We will have plenty more about the Philippines when the borders open again. :-)
By the way ... this video has a newer version here: vagabondbuddha.com/best-places-in-entire-world-to-retire-early-cheap-in-2021/
Always enjoy these. Thanks Dan, for your insights and opinions. You took the words right out of my...um...mind on Thailand. Let's hope things change there soon.
Absolutely Metal! Thanks for commenting. It helps our business grow. Best, Dan
So many intriguing choices. One thing I wish you could address the quality and cost of healthcare around the world. Another important aspect is the cost of traveling/from these places.
Great suggestion! Thanks for the ideas. :-)
great list!! i've been to many of places you recommend. kampot, cambodia - the smell you thought was marijuana may have, in fact, actually been that of sage. many practicing chinese medicine frequently use this and the smell is very similar. i could be wrong, but it is often mistaken for this in east asia.
Thanks for the tips!
I have been to a few of these . Cambodia is actually pretty cool. Chang Mai had the most amazing food and it was super hopping. Guanajuato is fantastic, but ocean is not easy to get to from there. I really like a town called San Bias in Nayarit, MX. The locals are awesome and it is dirt cheap. Great surfing and wildlife. I went to Teacapan also, three hours by car to North but as crow flies very close. I speak Spanish so I love Mexico. I never got to Nha Trang, but food in Vietnam is to die for. If you like mountains, horses, and a cowboy vibe, I love Durango, Durango. I have family there and Durango has insanely beautiful women, straight out the telenovelas. Main drag is a battle of the bands with tons lining the street attracting their own crowds.
Great share Joe. Would you like to be a guest start on one of my videos?

@@VagabondAwake thanks sir, if I get moment I will do that. Best to you. Saddened to hear Chang Mai and Thailand has gotten compromised. I love the pig, so Northern Thailand was like a pilgrimage. I used to live in Puerto Vallarta also, so love the West coast of MX.
You are probably right about Thailand.....I first came here in 84 as a 20 year old and fell in love with the everything I saw......fast forward quite a few years and in 2006 I moved here permanently......the dynamic had already changed between 84 and 2006......and further so now that it's 2020..........I love Thailand and have ties here now so I'm not going anywhere soon!.....but for someone just starting out their travelling and maybe expat life........I think you won't get the same memories that i had all those years ago......you'll still have some good ones though......I'd love to check out some of those central & south american places on your list, they look so cool....cheers from Chiang Mai
It is still amazing. The people are great, just the government is getting less welcomiing.
