Malaysia. Close to equator with lots of great islands with fast internet. No winters. Lots of tech jobs, especially remote. Easy tech and retirement visas (but very difficult citizenships). Income tax capped at 30%. Really nice houses available at about USD250k. Free/cheap medical costs. English is everywhere, even the constitution is written in it.
If you want islands with good internet, Redang has a really nice view and fresh fish, but no other activity than snorkeling and BBQs. Langkawi is not as beautiful and more developed, beach is a little polluted, but it's a major tourism port with lots of cheap chocolate and alcohol.
Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore are also great alternatives. Indonesia and Thailand has nicer islands and cheaper lifestyle, a little less English language and lower stability.
Singapore has a higher quality of life overall, and is a tech hub of SEA. Probably doesn't meet the cheap housing requirement.
