Bangkok voted as Asia's best

Chiang Mai, Thailand also makes it to the top 5

Thailand continues to be one of the major tourist destinations in the world, as two of its cities – Bangkok and Chiang Mai – made it to the top 5 list of best cities in Asia following Condé Nast Traveler's 2004 Readers' Choice Awards. Every year since 1988, Condé Nast Traveler's Magazine conducts a Reader's Choice Survey on different travel experience categories. Cities were ranked based on the following criteria: ambience, friendliness, culture/sites, restaurants, lodging, and shopping. Among Asian cities, Bangkok garnered the top spot while Chiang Mai is in 4 th place.

A number of hotels in Thailand also figured prominently in the survey, with four of its hotels landing in the top ten and five others included in the top 50. Thailand's island destinations, as well as its resorts, were also included among the world's best and the region's finest.
