Singapore has it all. What a great place. It is now even better than since I was last there in 2005. It works, it has life, great food, super night life, it is safe and clean.

Singapore? Why Singapore?
Singapore is so small and insignificant on the map.

How about actually showing unique visitors not people complying with visa restrictions i.e 90 day limits when on a non b 1 year visa?????

I fly into BKK at least 6 times a year sometimes up to 14 times......these numbers mean nothing

"London ranks first by visitor spending, followed by New York, according to MasterCard." Comparing prices in those cities with Bangkok, it comes as now surprise which one comes third.

This is definitely good news, especially for those involved in the Tourism business.
Hope that all politicians will bear this in mind in their fight against each other. Do not scare the tourists away by all the ugly protests and fighting.
