http://blogs.wsj.com/searealtime/2013/05/27/bangkok-tops-list-of-worlds-tourist-destinations/ Bangkok has emerged as the world’s top tourist destination, with 15.98 million visitors projected to descend in Thailand’s capital city this year, according to the third annual Global Destination Cities Index released by MasterCard MA +10.28%on Monday. Nopparat Chaichalearmmongkol/The Wall Street JournalFrancoise (right) and Caroline Lledo, a mother and a daughter visiting Bangkok from France, said they enjoy the city’s shopping. Based on data MasterCard collected from governments, central banks, related public agencies and airlines so far this year, the projection for the entire year says Bangkok is surpassing London, the previous holder of the top place, by a very narrow margin. Monday’s report marked the first time any Asian city has been projected to be the top-ranked tourist destination. London came in second, with 15.96 million visitors expected in 2013, and Paris, third, with 13.92 million visitors. MasterCard looked at 132 cities. Other Asian cities that made it to the Top-20 Global Destination Cities in 2013 include Singapore at number four, with 11.75 million visitors; Kuala Lumpur at number eight, with 9.2 million visitors; Hong Kong at number nine, with 8.72 million visitors; Seoul at number 11, with 8.19 million visitors; Shanghai at number 14, with 6.5 million visitors, Tokyo at number 16, with 5.8 million visitors, and Taipei, with 5.19 million visitors. The study found that Bangkok is experiencing a large increase in its number of tourists in 2013, up 9.8% from 2009. That compares to New York’s increase at 5.0% and London’s at 3.8%. Paris, meanwhile, saw a small dip in its number of tourists (negative 0.7%). Caroline Lledo, who was visiting with her mother from France, said Thailand has many offerings. “We like culture and the people are so nice. We also love shopping here,” Ms. Lledo said. Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesWat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram or Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok MasterCard Worldwide’s global economic adviser Yuwa Hedrick-Wong cited overall value for money spent for why Bangkok is attractive. That is true for Thailand overall as well. However, in terms of visitor spending, Bangkok is projected to bring in a total of US$14.3 billion dollars and is ranked at fourth this year, while New York continues to be the top city, where visitors will spend around $18.6 billion dollars in 2013. Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) adviser Suwanchai Ritthirak cited official data in saying that each foreign visitor spends an average of 9.6 days and 4,100 baht (about US$141.50) in the country. Therefore, to boost Bangkok’s ranking, more needs to be done to increase either or both factor. Asia-Pacific destinations have outperformed cities in the other parts of the globe, said Mr. Hedrick-Wong. Looking at the past five years, he predicted that Asia will likely continue to see a boost in the number of tourists. Not only will more international visitors visit the region, but more Asians will be traveling to cities beyond their own countries.

Thailand is rightly famous for massage. On the street, on the beach, in the night markets — massage is available everywhere.

Before I post details can a mod just verify that it will be okay? My company needs freelance voice talents of ALL languages, who are living in Bangkok. Generally it's for elearning and multimedia courses, and generally it pays more than language teaching. There are some gigs that require professional talents that pay higher. You have to pass a test in our studio and the reality is that probably 2 out of 3 people won't pass. And yes many people who do such work for us don't have previous experience I did think of paying for an ad via google ads but apart from being expensive, I didn't think it would be credible to be mixed in with "Asian dating" and "how to hook up". (tempting sarcasm I know) We do advertise around town in Shakers and Movers, ajarn.com and other places as well as handing out cards at foreign Chambers of Commerce. The attraction of TF is that there are a lot of nationalities here. If you only want personal ads not ads from companies, that is okay or you can suggest a reasonable fee perhaps? (It's not exactly expensive to put an ad on ajarn.com or in Shakers and Movers). Genuine work and ongoing needs...

Anyone done any of those Bangkok bicycle tours? Any good? Which ones do you recommend? I seem to remember that there was actually a TF event that included one a while back.
