Interactive planning tool
Compare places by the life they can support.
Weight what matters to you, score each location from evidence, and expose the tradeoffs hidden by a simple list of pros and cons.
Do not judge Bangkok on hospitals and Hua Hin on sunsets. Use the same criteria for every place.
Weight1 means low importance. 5 means essential.
Score1 means poor fit. 5 means strong fit.

The score does not choose for you. Investigate any low score, any uncertain score, and any result decided by only a few points. Compare neighborhoods within the strongest locations before committing.
Collect better evidence
Research before you score.
Use exact neighborhoods, current prices, named hospitals, actual routes, and the season you are most likely to dislike. Then test the strongest two or three places in person.
