Yes but they are also striving for Quality tourists and I would image for a quality location, Being in the top 4 cheapest cities to Holiday hardly brings to mind quality, Stop picking arguments and join the dots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 For a cheap short-time I would choose Bangkok as well. Great hotels, great value, great times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London won best City in the World for A Holiday Yes the topic did say cheapest city, not best City in the World for A Holiday. Actually, it said cheapest "tourist" city.Katmandu, Nepal must be 10x cheaper than BKK, but apparently no "tourists" (ie people with more money than sense) go there, ever. http://www.nepalnews.com/archive/2013/feb/feb06/news01.php 555 Edited June 18, 2015 by SiSePuede419 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4UCorsair Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 These cost of living surveys remind me of airline ratings. If an airline doesn't make the cut, the execs go looking for an organization, and I think sometimes creating their own, that will rate them higher. Best/cheapest tourist destinations fall in the same category, but I think Bangkok is still great value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 All depends upon your flavour....easy to drop 20k on a hotel and 10k on dinner in Bangkok or spend 1000 Baht a day on hotel and food and still have fun. Bangkok has it all covered which is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
