Bangkok voted world's best city

(14 July 2008)

Bangkok is the world's best city and the Galapagos are the best islands, according to an online survey by Travel and Leisure magazine.

Bangkok moved to the top of the list for the first time, replacing last year's winner Florence, which fell to number five, while the Galapagos Islands replaced Bali at the top of the best islands category.

Other winners in the yearly poll included Singapore Airlines as best airline, while best hotel went to the Singita Sabi Sand and Kruger National Park lodges.

The results were compiled from votes cast by subscribers over a three month period. A special awards ceremony for each category winner will follow on 24th July in New York.
