Move to Thailand, blow the money on opium and lady boys, go out like David Carradine; hanging half naked in somebody's cupboard.
I wouldn't move abroad, I'd buy a house here for around £200,000 and simply work part time when I felt the need. Honestly I'd be bored silly if I didn't have a job of some kind even if I had unlimited resources and not just £600K. You need something to keep you sane and more importantly people to do that.
Thailand would be the last place I'd go!

Buy Portsmouth FC.
But what will he do with the other £599,500?

Rather than "living" of £200 per week, why dont you make a challenge to see how much you could make of that, or something for example.
Where I live, I could by myself a nice flat for 200k, and get another 2decent 3bed flats easily for under 200k.
Both flats I would then be able to rent out for £900 PCM, so giving provisions for repairs/flats being empty, I could probably garauntee myself an income of £18000PA.
Now the average wage today, is meant to be 20k, or thereabouts I believe, so you would be living of a wage lower than average, but with your £200, and even just a part time job, you could probably afford to take on another property, and pay that off easily to increase your capital.
For instance, with your £200PW atm, what do you want to get out of life?
You could use that to "live" or "travel", and while at home, you could challenge yourself say to follow Donglemouse's footsteps(google) in matched betting perhaps, or do some freelance IT work, depending of what your into.
In essence, imo there is a lot you could do, it all depends on how much you want to live your life/invest in your future.
Best of luck!

I purchased about £700 worth of land in Second Life about 2 years ago, now it's worth about £9,000.
Amazing, considering that Second Life land has dropped in value over the last 3 years, your land value has actually increased over 1000% ! You, sir, are an economic genius.
"The price of land (L$/sqm) is dropping since 2007. July 2007 the price was L$8.4/sqm, while for January 2010 it is L$.85/sqm." Louis Platini - Metaverse.
Of course 600k is life changing. Not only do you have zero Mortgage or rent, which is life changing on it's own. With some clever investments you could live of the investment or at least earn enough so you could do a job you liked and not worry how little pay it was.
I would love to help animals and even work in the donkey sanctuary for free. I love animals and when I see them suffer it really makes me weep.
Lol, that's brilliant.

Tell you what.....give me half the money and I won't torture and kill animals for the rest of my life.
This is why i don't see the point amassing money in life, because the twerps who will eventually inherit it will just blow it, literally.
Enjoy the money while it lasts.
I asked for suggestions from people. You don't know me, so I suggest you keep your ****ing mouth shut.
OP it's your life, and it will be your cash. Do with it what you will.
Do not lend too much of an ear to those who have fully succumbed to the social conditioning mantra of finding a job, a mate, and loading yourself up with debt in pursuit of the Joneses (choose life...)
Likewise, beware the trip to Vegas and ho's suggestions.
Remember: Any of that £600k you have left at retirement will be paying for your care home. If you spend it all, the state will pay for your care home. Guess what? Either way, you'll still be in the same care home.
The variable will be how many awesome stories you can share with your demented, bed wetting chums (if you can remember any of them).
