BANGKOK IS THE MOST POPULAR CITY IN ASIA

MEnews - According to the annual Asia Pacific Destinations Index, Bangkok was again the most popular city in Asia in 2015.

The index looks at the number of foreign visitors. Bangkok has almost twice the number of visitors than its closest competitors: Singapore and Tokyo. Bangkok is said to have had 21.9 million visitors from abroad.

Besides the capital, it is also the largest city in Thailand. ​Its high-rise buildings, heavy traffic congestion, intense heat and naughty nightlife do not immediately give you a warm welcome — but don't let your first impression mislead you. It is one of Asia's most cosmopolitan cities with magnificent temples and palaces, authentic canals, busy markets and a vibrant nightlife that has something for everyone.
