I'm in Bangkok and I'm just comparing Bangkok or the future of Bangkok and it's shortfalls that I see from my hotel window and from walking around at street level. The main problem is the sheer size of the place and just trying to get out of the city is a bit of a disaster I guess,  so I'll hate to try and get out after a natural disaster to be honest. At the moment Bangkok is a good place to visit or live in as it is an amazing place. I compared Bangkok to Hanoi and Bangkok is the clear winner, here the number of tourists is increasing over time whereas in Hanoi it's not.
