BANGKOK : -- Thai has lost out from last year's winner and also slipped from the top 10 overall list of world's best cities for 2014 by readers of the US magazine Travel & Leisure.
Kyoto, the ancient Japanese capital famed for its historical landmarks, was ranked the best city in the world for 2014 instead.
Kyoto jumped four places from last year, unseating Bangkok from the top spot in the magazine’s 2014 World’s Best Awards list.
Cambodia’s Siem Reap which was not listed on the magazine’s top 10 best cities in the world last year was named the fourth best city.
Also in the poll of best cities for travel in Asia, Bangkok was also unseated by Kyoto to third place after Siem Reap.
Bangkok was rated the world’s best city last year for the fourth year in a row by the magazine’s readers.
The US magazine Travel & Leisure said the world’s best cities were rated by its readers on sights and landmarks; culture and arts; restaurants and food; people; and value.
In 2013, Kyoto received a record 51.62 million tourists, according to the city.
Kyoto hotels and inns accommodated 1.13 million foreign travelers, topping the 1 million threshold for the first time.
