9. Bangkok
Bangkok is the first, of three, Asian cities on this list and whilst the two higher ranking Asian cities offer higher levels of vehicular based chaos and as much, if not more, iconic architecture, Bangkok is able to offer more its fair share of busy streets, gorgeous Hindu temples, and a booming sex trade. The sex trade in particular, would offer would offer some colourful characters during missions and locations that the other Asian cities could not rival. Like Rome with its "motorino", Bangkok has its own famous form of travel the "tuk tuk" (which reappears under a different name in a later entry) which would add another layer to the gamer's experience of Bangkok. "Close" to Bangkok (and if you've ever been to Bangkok you will understand the quotation marks) is the famous floating markets, which would offer gamers yet another new experience and could form the basis of an interesting delivery or escort mission (an increasingly rare commodity).
