I keep seeing articles that have been rating Bangkok as the number one tourist destination in the world. Now I love Thailand, and all of the diverse and beautiful places it has to offer, but Bangkok.... I'm not a fan of. I don't see the appeal of an overcrowded, sinking, smelly, crazy city. Not trying to knock it, but being there makes me anxious. Can the people who live there explain the appeal? Maybe there is something I'm missing. Maybe I'm just more used to cities like Chicago, Tel Aviv, or Singapore when it comes to places that I rank as being appealing. (Also understand that this is my opinion If you love Bangkok, I say more power to you). Also I feel comfortable posting this because I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I've met many many Thai people who do not like visting/living in Bangkok. Many of them dislike it for the sames that I do.
