Bangkok is a city of contrasts with action at every turn. The metropolis provides tourists with essential elements (especially 24-hour street food everywhere), diverse lifestyles and unique experiences making it one of the best destinations in Southeast Asia, according foreign travellers.
The Bangkok Post talked to foreigners in town to throw light on why this city is the favourite of so many. TheTravel + Leisure Southeast Asian website this month recognised the "Top 10 cities in Southeast Asia" with its inaugural "Asia's Best Awards 2022", in which Bangkok came in top place.
Nico, a 30-year-old Austrian tourist, said she was on her fourth visit. It is an exciting and surprising city where travel experiences are unpredictable, she said. She can ride a Bangkok motorbike taxi that is very inexpensive, and after that can get on a bus leading her to a destination.
