Thailand Wins Six Travel Awards

Res Magazine, the second most popular travel magazine in Sweden, organized its annual readers’ survey on outbound travel for the fourth consecutive time in Autumn 2007. Readers voted online on www.res.se and the results were announced in December 2007. Awards were presented in fourteen categories.

Thailand received a total of six awards. The Kingdom of Thailand was voted the Best Long-Haul Destination and ranks the third ‘Best Country to Live’, after Sweden and the United States. The tropical paradise of Phuket led the Top-10 Best Charter Destinations with Krabi in third place. Thai food ranks second in the 2007 Best Food award category.

2007 Best Long-Haul Destination: Thailand
2007 Best Charter Destination: Phuket #1 and Krabi #3
2007 Best Big Cities: Bangkok ranks #8
2007 Best Food: Thai food ranks second behind Italian
2007 Best Country to Live: Thailand ranks third in the Top-5
2007 Best International Airline Company: Thai Airways International ranks second out of five airlines

What do you think?  Where would Bangkok rank in your list of top cities in the world?  For me I think it would definitely be in the top 3 with New York and Moscow making up the other two (based on my limited experience)

Do you think Thailand is one of the best places in the world to live?  I certainly do, but I’d love to hear what all of you think.  What are the benefits of living in Thailand vs other countries in your opinion?

You can find lots of Thai recipes right here on Thailand Musings.  Is Italian food better than Thai food?
