Plan to move to SEA in 2025, and interested in finding a short-term place to stay (6 months to a year) while I explore longer-term, lower cost options in both Thailand and Philippines (and work on visa issues, etc).
I should have $3,000 USD per month to live on, and about $300,000 USD in retirement accounts. I prefer living in a larger place (2 bedrooms is preferred so I have a separate office), fully furnished, real kitchen with full size refrigerator and a real cooktop, and a pool would be great. Ideally a condo, townhouse, or apartment. Far enough outside of a major city to not be subject to nightly madness, but close enough to get there using reasonable transportation like rail or Grab. Curious to know what kind of city-outskirts places people are living in that offer that kind of lifestyle, that would be well within my means.
Open to any of the major cities, as this is temporary anyway. Already posted this question in the Philippine expat forum as I’m keeping options there open as well.
Thanks in advance!
