I wouldn't have thought 30th place was anything to be so happy about and am wondering how it really compared with cities in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hong Kong & Singapore or were they not included in the survey?

If any one looked hard enough, they could find a survey/report that states Thailand is the most “corrupt-free” country among the ASEAN countries.  Reports are cheap.

Hey I just wrote that report and it’s about to be published, though it’s among all countries in the world. Honest, I was not bribed to list Thailand at the top of the list.

Air quality and internet freedom must have been hiding in a closet when the survey takers came by.

Strange how the officials fighting corruption in the LoS are always being stymied in their endeavours.

Very true, but its not even that high on these measures.  Yes it is one of the most visited Cities in the World, but I would  bet a mint that revisits hardly ever happen.

The list is here: https://www.worldsbestcities.com/rankings/worlds-best-cities/

The top 10 were London, Paris, New York, Tokyo, Dubai, Barcelona, Rome, Madrid, Singapore (top in ASEAN) and Amsterdam. Then they ranked Hong Kong #16 and Beijing #18 (why the locals in both cities are trying to "escape" was obviously not asked in their survey). Another BS list.
