Bangkok ranks 6th out of 50 cities in the Expat City Ranking 2022, performing best for personal finance and worst for working abroad and quality of life.
– In 2022, Valencia (1st), Dubai, Mexico City, Lisbon, Madrid, Bangkok, Basel, Melbourne, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore (10th) are the top 10 cities for ex-pats to live in.
– On the other hand, ex-pats consider Johannesburg (50th), Frankfurt, Paris, Istanbul, Hong Kong, Hamburg, Milan, Vancouver, Tokyo, and Rome (41st) the world’s worst cities to live in.
Bangkok ranks 6th out of 50 in the Expat City Ranking 2022 by InterNations, the world’s largest ex-pat community with over 4.5 million members.
The city excels when it comes to both Personal Finance and the Ease of Settling In, ranking among the top 5 in both indices. While it gets somewhat mixed results in the Expat Essentials Index (22nd) — ex-pats find it easy to find housing but are unhappy with the digitization and local bureaucracy — Bangkok performs worst for both the Quality of Life and Working Abroad.
The Expat City Ranking is based on the annual Expat Insider survey by InterNations. It is one of the most extensive surveys about living and working abroad, with 11,970 respondents in 2022. A total of 50 cities around the globe are featured this year, offering in-depth information about five areas of ex-pat life: Quality of Life, Ease of Settling In, Working Abroad, Personal Finance, and the new Expat Essentials Index, which covers digital life, admin topics, housing, and language.
Expats Enjoy Life without Monetary Concerns
Bangkok ranks 6th out of 50 cities in the Expat City Ranking 2022 and 2nd worldwide in the Personal Finance Index. Expats are not only happy with the general cost of living (69% vs. 45% globally), but affordability is also a highlight in the Expat Essentials Index (22nd).

#Indonesia - Bali named eighth 'most Instagrammable place' in world
Travel publication Big 7 Travel released its 2020 list of the "most Instagrammable places in the world", with Bali ranking eighth.
The destinations are ranked in order of their visual allure and popularity on social media.
To compile the list, Big 7 Travel selected the winners by analyzing the amount of hashtags per destination, surveying the publication's 1.5 million readers and conducting a vote among a panel of travel experts.
“These are the places where you'll find sweeping stretches of coastline, historical monuments, kitsch cocktail bars and more street art than you can possibly imagine,” said Sarah Clayton-Lea, Big 7 Travel’s head of content, in a statement.
Bali was ranked at number eight, being described as "paradise" with white sandy beaches, waterfalls, cute swings and floating breakfast.
The Edge villa resort in Uluwatu was mentioned by the publication for its famous infinity pools.
This year’s most Instagrammable destination is Australia's Sydney, which received the honor thanks to the city’s vibrant and beautiful scenery.
Cities that also made it into the top 20 include Croatia's Dubrovnik and Paris. These cities received high scores due to their pastel-colored streets, lively markets and photo spots.
“Other Instagrammable places in the Top 50 to add to your ‘must-visit’ include Istanbul in Turkey and Cusco in Peru,” Sarah added.

#Thailand - Ko Phi Phi’s Maya Bay ranked 11th best beach in the world.
Phi Phi’s Maya Bay still ranks high among the world’s most beautiful beaches
Although nowadays Maya Beach is hardly
considered remote, far from it, it does still rank high among the
world’s best beaches, according to a listing of the World’s 50 Best
Beaches compiled by FlightNetwork.
The agency consulted more than 600 of the world’s top travel
journalists, editors, bloggers and agencies — the people who do this for
a living — to gain insight from their opinions and expertise.
By asking
the top travel professionals, FlightNetwork has created the most
trustworthy and accurate list out there to inspire travelers and help
choose their upcoming winter holiday destinations.
According to the report Maya Beach “will make visitors feel as though
they are on the set of a film, sheltered on silky white sands and
surrounded by unbelievably memorizing green cliffs and vividly colorful
coral. No wonder this has been the setting for many films and attracts
thousands of tourists every day.
Travelers can experience these
beautiful and exciting surroundings by taking a private boat trip,
snorkeling in aquamarine waters, or stretching out on pillow-like sand
while they work on their tan in the usual 10 hours of sunshine a day.
With an average day at a warm 29°C and water that welcomes you at 27°C,
Maya Beach in Koh Phi Phi Le in Thailand is said to be one of the most
stunning and accessible islands in the world.”

Bangkok jumps into first place as the world’s most visited city
.
It took three years, but Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, is once
again the world’s most visited city, according to MasterCard’s
2016 Global Destination Cities Index annual report.
.
.
Bangkok’s number one ranking does not come as a
surprise, as it has been in the top three most visited cities since
MasterCard started this report. However, this rise came from a thirteen
percent jump in traveler arrivals between 2015 and 2016. The
only other top ten city to post a greater jump in arrival
percentages was ninth ranked Tokyo.
.
Tourism has remained a strong point for this vibrant Southeast Asian
country and appears to be virtually unfazed by the 2014 military
coup. This year, Thailand has achieved 2.4 trillion baht of income from
tourism, nearly 5% above the targeted of 2.3 trillion baht.
.
This increase in arrivals has been heavily influenced by the
Government’s support of the tourist industry through tourism promotion
campaigns on various destinations around the Kingdom and changes towards
tourist visas – free or reduced visa fees, along with extending the
long stay visa from one year to ten years.
.
To accommodate the steadily growing number of visitors, Airports of
Thailand Plc, plans to spend 194 billion baht over the next 15 years to
expand its six airports to serve 150 million passengers, against the
current 71.5 million. There are also plans underway to connect
Don Muang Airport to Bangkok’s mass transit lines, linking it to Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Don Muang Airport to Bangkok’s mass transit lines, linking it to Suvarnabhumi Airport.
.
To help Thailand’s tourist industry, the government has recently
begun aggressively tackling the rise in illegally registered tour
companies that specialize in ‘zero-dollar tours’, however, this has had a
minimal effect on the overall visitor arrival numbers.
.
Even with the Thai Baht strengthening against many of the major world
currencies, visitors still find outstanding value in Bangkok.
Of the top five cities visited, Bangkok has the accommodation costs, allowing visitors to spend their money in other sectors.
.
While Bangkok is notorious for its gridlocked traffic, especially
during rush-hour and after sudden rain storms, its taxi fares remain
very good value for such a major city, costing about ten percent
of remains one of top ranked Zurich. Furthermore, taxis can be
found anywhere, and with virtually no wait. If traffic is an issue, then
the BTS and MRT offer convenient transport to many popular attractions
in the downtown area.
Visitors to Bangkok can enjoy Thailand’s exotic and often spicy
cuisine at a fraction of the price found in their home countries. Thai
food vendors are found on every street; a dish of grilled chicken,
sticky rice and spicy papaya salad may cost three Euros. To help find
a street food vendor, the Tourism Authority of Thailand and Ministry of
Foreign Affairs have recently launched an app, “Street food Bangkok”, to
help visitors find famous food vendors around the capital.
.
Bangkok is the top ranked global city destination, but it is often
only a starting point for the 33 million visitors expected to arrive in
Thailand this year. The Kingdom offers world class beaches full of
sunbathers, or secluded little beaches, all overlooking the
clear turquoise blue water of the Andaman Sea and Gulf of
Thailand. The mountainous north of Thailand offers a completely
different experience from the south’s beaches. Travelers travel
to Chiang Mai, where they can take day trips to see hill tribe people,
go trekking in the mountains, or visit its numerous temples.
.
With so many visitors taking advantage of the government’s strong
support tourism, its many attractions and central location, Thailand is
hopeful that it can retain its crown as MasterCard’s Global Destination
Cities Index in 2017.

Trang islands as one of ‘Best in Asia’ destinations
Trang islands are one of Lonely Planet’s top ten picks for lesser-known Asian go-to destinations for this year. The small islands off the coast of Trang province rank number eight on the list, beating out contenders from India and Taiwan.
Way to go Thailand!
The picturesque Trang islands were characterized by Lonely Planet as being on the same level as the famous Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta, with way less crowds. They described the islands as a place where “blonde beaches glisten amid shards of jungle-topped karst; beachfront bungalows line crescents of squeaky sand; rainbows of fish flit through the aquamarine.”
Made up of five smaller islands: Koh Kradan, Koh Ngai, Koh Sukorn, Koh Muk, and Koh Libong with its own distinctive attraction, Trang islands have remained largely under the radar.
The list, which was announced this week, sets its sight on the hidden gems waiting to be discovered by any aspiring travelers looking for excitement.
Regionally, Japan’s Hokkaido topped the list for its wild, mountainous landscape. That Northen Japanese locale is followed by Shanghai (China), Jeonju (South Korea), and Con Dao Islands (Vietnam).
