Bangkok managed to defend its title as "Best City" according to votes by readers of the US "Travel and Leisure" magazine this year, making it the title champion for three consecutive years, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) deputy clerk Manit Tech
The BMA would keep improving and conserving tourist attractions in 50 districts while also adding highlights for each area in a bid to increase the nights that tourists stay in Bangkok to two, compared to the current rate of one night, before the tourists go elsewhere.
Manit said the BMA had also launched a “24-hour Rattanakosin” scheme to invite the public and private sector, business operators, educational institutions and people to host activities and develop attractions around Rattanakosin Island that people can visit in a day and night such as the National Museum, National Theatre, Wat Suthatthep Woraram, Wat Ratchanadda and Khao San Rd.
