We're #2! (If you live in Bangkok)

Edit: Scroll down, Chiang Mai is on the list too at #28.

TLDR : Answer Summary
In a recent ranking by Time Out, Bangkok was placed at #2 among the best cities in the world for 2025, with Chiang Mai also making the list at #28. The rankings reflect the opinions of residents regarding their own cities.
Kent ********
This is a ranking based on the ratings given by residents of each of their own cities. Of course there were 6 in the UK; they also like haggis, jellied eels, black pudding, and marmite. They wash it down with warm beer. Compared to that, of course they think that their cities are great.
