I need to find this place.

1. 40-50% Cheaper standard of living than the UK.
2. Lots of surf/ Beaches.
3. Cheap but good accommodation near beach with good broadband access.
4. Somewhere in Asia.

If someone can actual point me in the right direction of finding said place and I decide to go there, I will transfer 10$ into their neteller account or player transfer on Empire/Stars.

If I have multiple answers I will transfer 10$ to whatever I deem the most helpfull response.

Search for the poster KJS and have him tell you about Thailand maybe.

Charlie don't surf, but that shouldn't stop you.

The Nam is very cheap, has pretty good infrastructure (so broadband is fairly likely) for a developing country, and, from what I hear, has some surf beaches.

Thailand is very nice, but I don't think you'll find too much surf there though maybe on the Western side of the southern peninsula you might get something.

Also, I've heard people talk up Bali but I don't know much about it.

Thailand is the obvious answer, but you should look into Spain as well.

How about India? It's cheap, there's beaches, great food and quite a few people speak English.

In Asia there's very little great surfing outside of Indonesia.

Go to Bali. The surf is great, living can be as cheap or as expensive as you want (from $5 a night to $5000 a night), the people are nice, the culture is facinating, and they've just got broadband (I hear) in the Legian/Kuta area.

Malaysia. Low cost of living, good infrastructure in the cities. Check out Penang. I believe they are part of the UK Commonwealth so issues with visas/immigration may be easier for you. First-world Singapore is nearby if you need to escape for a few days. If you're the type that likes to smoke a little weed you'd best stay out of SE Asia altogether, they take drugs seriously here and trafficking is a capital offense in most of these countries. Good luck with your search.

Excellent an answer that actualy relates to surf.

Thanks for pointing out those regions. Bali would make an excellent destination.
