The world's most visited city 🇹🇭! But it’s feeling increasingly overcrowded (and expensive!). What do you think of Chiang Mai, Kuala Lumpur, or Ho Chi Minh City as an alternative?
Screenshot of a travel website card for Bangkok, Thailand, showing a city skyline at sunset with high-rise buildings along a river. The city is labelled “Overcrowded.” Below, Chiang Mai is highlighted as the top alternative with thumbs-up and thumbs-down vote icons, a note saying “3 alternatives suggested,” and buttons to “Suggest an Alternative” or “View all alternatives.

Looking for an alternative to crowded Kyoto? 🇯🇵 Try Kanazawa! 🗾
It’s a former samurai city, not an imperial one, so the history feels quieter and more lived-in. Fewer temples, more everyday streets, beautiful gardens, and way less pressure to rush around.

Looking for an alternative to Rome, Italy? 🇮🇹 Why not Florence or Pompeii? Or eating non-stop in Bologna? Or a little hidden gem like Siena?

Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾. Affordable, diverse, easy to live in, and surprisingly good for long stays and remote work.
