Why is Bangkok unlivable?

Recently I purchased a survey report from Mercer, a most prestigious quality-of-life research institution, and discovered some intriguing facts about Bangkok’s livability.

Residential areas … A big-city problem

Shelter is one of the four basic requirements for living, an important necessity especially in a big city such as Bangkok. Having a secure place to live ensures human life security. It would be very difficult if we had to live with the uncertainty of different accommodation arrangements day by day.

Bangkok, a World Heritage City

According to Thailand’s Minister of Tourism and Sport, his proposal to develop old cities to be World Heritage sites is good policy. To me, it is also a very interesting idea. Currently, only five places in Thailand are registered as World Heritage Sites by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization, (UNESCO). This is far fewer in number than the many architectural, cultural, and national resource sites found altogether in Thailand.
