On CEOWORLD magazine’s list of “World’s Best Countries To Visit In Your Lifetime 2024”, Thailand is ranked top, according to Government Spokesman Chai Wacharonke.

The ranking is based on feedback from over 295,000 readers, making it the highest level of participation in the magazine’s history.

According to CEOWORLD, Thailand offers a diverse range of experiences, such as wild nightlife, delicious food, vibrant art and culture, great shopping options, winding rivers and canals, Buddhist temples and night markets. Visitors can also visit more peaceful locations in Bangkok, such as Bang Krachao Island.

The rankings are:

1. Thailand, 72.15%

2. Greece, 67.22%

3. Indonesia, 65.15%

4. Portugal, 64.32%

5. Sri Lanka, 60.54%

6. South Africa, 59.76%

7. Peru, 59.76%

8. Italy, 57.77%

9. India. 57.65%

10. The United Arab Emirates, 57.38%

while wholeheartedly I agree with Thailand top position, rest is bit questionable -  relatively low place of India or Italy with relation to Greece, absence of Mexico , USA , Spain , France , Turkey and UK and prominent position of Emirates makes me wonder. 

Truth is , always  those types of rankings produce results questionable results. Me and my travelling friends often recall similar ranking from one of luxury travel magazines in early  90 ties when Palm Springs California came on top of most desired cities to visit leaving in the dust behind Paris, Rome , Rio, Tokyo, NY and all other worthies including   St.Olaf,  MN

Meaningless.

the "in your lifetime" construction is really weird. When else would you do it?

Oh, of course. Because Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and the UAE are so much more interesting than Egypt, Cambodia, France, Turkey, or the US.... 😄 That has got to be the silliest list I've ever seen. It just shows what some tourist offices are willing to pay to get on silly lists.

I know someone  who is very keen on Turkey!

With cranberry sauce on the side? 🙂

Would mess up the stamp collection!

One man's opinion regarding Asian countries. Probably pretty accurate.

 

Is Chernobyl on the list?

In someone else's?

A Buddhist would probably say "which one?"

So it is, but the post immediately above yours, to which I thought you were replying,  was about "Asia's countries ranked".
