Bangkok has topped the list of the ten best cities for excellent nightlife adventures for travellers, according to a survey by Agoda.com, a leading hotel booking site.
Agoda.com has just released the list of the top ten nightlife cities as chosen by its customers. With New Year's Eve now upon us, these cities are perfect to ring in 2013, it said.
The results were based on feedback from over 113,000 respondents provided at the end of their stay in the cities. The Agoda.com customers rated the nightlife on a scale of 1-5, 1 being "poor", and 5 being "excellent". The top spot was taken by Bangkok, which Agoda.com called "Thailand's energetic capital known for its tuk-tuks, temples and street food", followed by Dubai, the gleaming desert city in the United Arab Emirates, and Boracay/Caticlan in the Philippines, famous for its white sand beaches and swaying palm trees.
