Cambodia is another good option in term of cost, safety for expats, local culture, and ease of getting a Visa.
Due to its lower development level, most big factors in cost of living such as housing, utilities, and transportation are still cheaper or comparable to other countries in Southeast Asia. Overall foods are also very cheap but more fancy options are also available when eating out.
Cambodia is now one of the safest place in Asia for expats. There are many good options for international schools for families with children. There are also many good affordable options for healthcare with internationally trained doctors and modern facilities. You can even get private health insurance now.
With a long history, you will have many avenues for exploring the local history and culture. Or you can simply enjoy the fact that a predominantly Buddhist Cambodia makes it the world’s friendliest country according to Rough Guides:

Cambodia is also one of the few countries with an easy-to-get retirement Visa. You can also get a work Visa. For younger people not yet ready to retire or not working, a Visa renewal run to Thailand is a quick and cheap round trip plane ride costing as low as $100.
