After cooking myself in Chiang MaiThailand for 12+ years, I find myself looking for a cooler climate in a neighboring country.

requirements...........
1] cooler climate [hill stations?] with an expat friendly community.
2] reliable infrastructure.........electricity, internet with decent speed, and good water supply.
3] convenient shopping for fresh foods and occasional western treats.
4] moderate cost of living
5] convenient airport and decent roads to it.

Does this exist in Malaysia??

^ Penang has it all except for the occasional heat due to El-Nino.

Let me know how you make out with that. You might also add "Retirement Visa Requirements " to your list as I know that Malaysia has them just as Thailand does, and they are not meagre. Unfortunately I will not be able to meet the financial requirements of either. have you thought about Belize? Still cheap - tho certainly not the cheapest - and a short plane ride to the U.S. for medical, etc. AND they speak English. Just a thought. Good luck in your search and please keep me posted if you find the perfect needle in the perfect haystack.
