Bangkok. See below:
> Perhaps you can give your opinions of the major pros and cons of each city.
Bangkok
Pros: Lots of interesting sights, very inexpensive city, great food (if
you like very spicy food).
Cons: Very polluted, lots of tourists everywhere.
Hong Kong
Pros: Lots of interesting neighborhoods, Chinese markets, temples and
craft shops, great quality and variety of Chinese and other Asian food.
Cons: No real major "sights", high prices, polluted, many find the
locals unfriendly.
Singapore
Pros: Clean city, great food, zoo, botanic gardens, Little India is
interesting.
Cons: Other than those things, the rest of the city is sterile and
boring.
Kuala Lumpur
Pros: Less expensive than Hong Kong or Singapore, okay food, some
interesting neighborhoods.
Cons: Not much to see or do.
> You mentioned about the pollution in Bangkok, how bad is it compared to say Athens (I don't know if you've been) ?
I have been to Athens, and the pollution in Bangkok is much worse. The
air in Bangkok has a sweet smell from all the leaded gasoline. In some
cities you notice the pollution in the first five minutes after you get
off the plane and then it's fine. In Bangkok, you will constantly
notice it.
