Places like Bangkok and Chiang Mai have been developed enough for years to live a 1st world lifestyle if you have a western income/wealth. From what I've been hearing though is Thailand has been stagnating (aging population, middle income trap) and places like VN are catching up at a lower price point. So a lot of the reasons for moving to Thailand are slowly eroding.

Malaysia is a good option too, cheap and near first world living conditions in the big cities but there's always a non-zero chance the Muslim majority there will go full Jihad on your Chinese ass one day.
