Bangkok Reigns Supreme as Asia-Pacific’s Best City in 2024 Chosen by Travel + Leisure Readers!

Bangkok has once again solidified its position as a global tourism powerhouse, claiming the top spot in the “Best Cities in Asia-Pacific” category of the prestigious Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2024. The competition was fierce, with leading global destinations such as Tokyo, Dubai, Hong Kong, Hanoi, Singapore, Seoul and Taipei also vying for top honours, though it was Bangkok that emerged victorious.

Travel + Leisure, a renowned lifestyle and travel magazine, launched the Luxury Awards Asia Pacific three years ago to crown the region’s most exceptional destinations. Tailored to each country’s unique tourism landscape, the award categories vary, ensuring a fair and comprehensive evaluation. A panel of seasoned Travel + Leisure editors and industry experts carefully selected nominees, while readers and travellers from around the globe got the chance to cast their votes. Bangkok’s victory is thus a testament to its global appeal and unwavering commitment to excellence.

As part of its description of Bangkok, Travel + Leisure referred to the city’s intoxicating blend of sights, sounds, and flavours that offer an unparalleled experience for every traveller. The local food scene was highlighted with options ranging from savouring street food to dining at high-end restaurants. Beyond its culinary delights, other allures that were put in the spotlight were its shopping options, temples, art & culture and pulsating nightlife. It is little surprise that visitors from around the world keep flocking to this city where they can enjoy stays at everything from modern studios to 1 or 2 bedroom serviced apartments in Bangkok.
