Bangkok ranks No 2 of world’s top most visited cities

 

 

Bangkok ranks second as the world’s top cities for tourism in Euromonitor International’s Top 100 City Destinations 2018 report which was recently released.

 

Once again, Hong Kong has come out on top with close to 30 million tourists expected to travel to the city before the end of this year and more than half of them will be from Chinese mainland.

 

According to the UK-based market research company, Bangkok holds on to its No 2 ranking after Hong Kong, with close to 24 million visitors expected this year.

Don't be like that! TAT tells Euromonitor and they spread the manure around on TAT's behalf.

It's simply about sharing lies and BS.

Before you start shaking that table, you should know that cambodians. burmese, laotians, vietnamese who merely crossed the border to feed are counted as tourists and they make up over more than 40% of the total figure, then next is chindia, which accounts for another over 30%... The actual figure of legit tourist is very depressing. Do your own research, see for yourself.

I also wonder why...have those tourists never seen a mall before? Or a temple? 

 

Guess they come to see the madness down the roads, or the sexy girls who are not prostitutes but pingpongball artists.? 

 

There's nothing in BKK which is so beautifull i would recommend to others. There are no tourist attractions like Disney or Seaworld or good museums/shows/parks...It's too hot, dirty, overcrowded, dangerous, full of scams/traps...and the nice neighbourhoods are closed for strangers so they can only see the filthy streets, can't even walk around on the sidewalks safely.

You have lost it. Disney or sea world??

Bangkok is so disconnected from that world I'm shocked anybody could use it in the same sentence.

Bangkok is still mysterious and exotic to the west especially.

Yes well maybe i got used to it...tourists like to see the insects being sold, strange stuff in chinatown, copycopy goods, tuktuk's, temples, longtail boats. But it's all for young tourists, older ones prefer the beaches and stay in the resort.

I love Bangkok but any survey that suggests that it gets more (real ) tourists than say London is seriously flawed.

The "YOU" being referred to is obviously the folk who keep creatively coming up with these grandiose numbers.

Another one repeating the brain dead mantra.

Use your brain don't be lazy and look up the mastercard stats right here on TV

The average tourist spends 5 days in bangkok before moving on. That's what drives bangkok to the top of the world rankings

It's seems to upset the jungle boys watching their grass grow.

Would you please convince the many guys in line ahead of me at CW and the guys at Big Dogs Nana to go to Seaworld. I would like to get a quick visa extension of stay and a good seat with a beer to watch the Nana professionals go to work. ???? Thank you.
