Bangkok Named Third World's Best City

[Martin]

I can only guess at what readers of that magazine visit in a city when they go there.

But I am not surprised that they feel that they have a "Good Bangkok" experience.

Neither am I surprised at the negative views expressed here (by, seemingly, posters who are not the sort who read that magazine).

I don't like cities, so I don't like Bangkok. But I do recommend it as a 'good visit' to people who can afford to stay at the Peninsula, and be just shown selected bits of Bangkok.

(When I visit Bangkok, I stay somewhere cheap. But, if I have the time, I go over to the Peninsula to partake, big way, of the buffet breakfast).

3rd best City in what?

When it comes to the World Ranking regarding Quality of living for Expats then Mercer has a total different ranking. Bangkok is Number 109 from 216.

See attached 216 Cities in the world.

I'm a country boy now but Bangkok has got to be #1 if you like the Cities!
