Best world cities to retire

Reckon Costa Rica gets my vote along with Panama too. Both with ideal climates and scenery.

But both considerably more expensive than Thailand these days?

Depends.

Say you live on Phuket or in a Farang ghetto in Bangkok (think Sukhumvit to An Nut) or CM and live like a westerner, I reckon parts of Thailand are as expensive.

Malaysia is the only country in Asia to get listed.

^ Yes 16-21o/C in your Australian town in winter, but here in Victoria it gets up to mid 30's in summer, maybe even 40 on occasion. Then there's the flies on these hot days, the bloody flies that hang around your face looking for moisture, not 1 but half a dozen at any time landing on your face, in your ears. The things they don't tell you on the tourist advertisements . Just flash Lara Bingle and her perfect tits on the tele & all the guys want to go there

No what you mean Mr T. I grew up in Melbourne and moved to QLD 20 years ago. Interestingly although you will see a dog turd covered in flies, they really bother to land on people here. Mind you what we lack in flies we make up for in mosquitoes. They are here all year round. Summers rarely get over 35 but the humidity kills you here.

Bournemouth. People are just dying to go there.

Tossup between Bournemouth and Skegness...
