The new digital nomad favorite. A world-class metropolis. Fun and exciting. Affordable. Easy to reach by plane. It's not all rosy, though, air quality could be better and it's not really a walkable city.
Really spicy. Plenty of fresh ingredients and lots of variety. Famous for tom yum, pad thai, and curries.
The Thai staple. What can be better than a cold iced tea on a hot afternoon in Chiang Mai? Although they often make them too sweet so I always ask for no added sugar.
My flight from Bangkok to Los Angeles was completely packed and the seats were tiny. This is arguably not the airline's fault but the layover in Manila was one of the worst I've had. You are herded from one queue to another for hours, surrounded by a crowd of people at all times.
Friendly towards foreigners. Affordable. Most people speak English. Safe. Not great in the winter though. The weather is crap, you never get to see the sun, and air quality gets bad.
