According to the Global Destination Cities Index issued by Mastercard, the world’s most visited city in 2016 was Bangkok. The analysis takes into account the number of visitors who stayed at least one night in that particular location.
Temple of Emerald Buddha, Bangkok
The Thai capital had 21.5 million visitors, attracting more tourists than New York. London (19.88M) and Paris (18.03M) reached the podium, while Dubai (15.27M) and New York (12.75M) were on fourth and, respectively, fifth place.
Wat Pho Temple, Bangkok
Famous for the beautiful temples, street food and night life, Bangkok was also ranked as 8th tallest city in 2016 thanks to its many skyscrapers as per The World's Best Skylines.

Prague is really nice. I've been there a couple of years ago. For sure, you'll love it. Tuk Tuk in Bangkok is a real experience, but it is not as insane as in India. I took several ones in Bangalore.have you tried the skytrain in Bangkok?

The skytrain is really fast, clean and always on time, however it covers only a few neighborhoods. Also the views from the skytrain are nice. I have also taken the boats a few times on the Chao Phraya River. The hotel was on the riverside, hence they had their own boat for the guests. I will share some day the Indian Tuk Tuk experience
