1. Bangkok, Thailand
21.98 million international visitors annually make this place the world’s most visited city for the third year in a row. In fact, 20.05 million are overnighters. This is reported to be partially due to both its hot spots and historical sites. Noteworthy stops include the Grand Palace complex and the Mandarin Oriental. Bangkok also has a multitude of various eateries from outdoor street food vendors along the alleys and canals to nice restaurants. Seafood is big there so have some fish soup, a crab omelet, or a drunken crab. Not into fish? Try the pork knuckles or pork trotters. Bon appetit!
