Costa Rica and Panama are much the same - nobody bothers you and no taxation. (You don't even get any tax paperwork to fill in). You can do as you want - within the usual reasonable guidelines.

Thats great ! I'll certainly research it extensively before making any decisions, I actually know a few UK adult webmasters who have made the move to Asia so I'll be sure to ask them also about their experiences

So.. build your property scenario and spend some time experiencing the "other side" - that will give a good clue as to what you may want to do in the end  |
Not having to endure the British weather, I'm sure that is a big factor
I think the thing I'd miss most would be my family and close friends but with the money I could potentially save not having to pay income tax there would be nothing to stop me from inviting them out (to where ever I'm located) for a few months each year
