1. World's best cuisine

Papaya salad with salted egg -- no words can do it justice.

It's so well-known that you hardly need reminding but Bangkok produces -- quite effortlessly -- some of the best food in the world.

Forget about Italian simplicity and French savoir faire, Thai cooking is all about intricacy, complexity and some of the most indefinable flavors ever attempted in gastronomy.

Thai celebrity chef McDang characterizes Thai food as demonstrating "intricacy; attention to detail; texture; color; taste; and the use of ingredients with medicinal benefits, as well as good flavor."

All that and it's cheap too. What's not to like?
