Bangkok is exotic, Hongkong is a shopper's paradise. Although Thailand has its own low-cost buyers area if you have time to really dig in.

I hope you won't mind if I become biase, or something. I'm from the Philippines...why not try visiting our country. Just don't go where you are not suppose to be, like some parts in Mindanao. Your government will give you an advisory where and where not to go in the Philippines.

Been to both places. Both are excellent cities to travel in. It all depends on what you are looking for and budget.

Bangkok is cheaper in cost compared to Hong Kong.

Both offer great shopping and good food, and many places of interest.

It depends on what do you want to see. If you like monuments and historic places Thailand is the place to visit but if modern urbanism and architecture is on your mind, than go to Hong Kong.

I live in South East Asia and travel the region a lot. I prefer Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City. Bangkok is big, crowded and expensive. Hong Kong's even worse.

Its depend on what are you planning to do? What do your prefers ??
If you like to shopping and you dont really mind the prices you should go to Hongkong. I never been there but heard many of them whos travelling there. Have less places to visit than Bangkok.
If you like historical places, like temples, and love cheap prices you should go to Bangkok.
Every places is uniques thats what i think.

Been to both places. But I will recommend Bangkok more than Hongkong.

In Bangkok, you get to do shopping (make sure your trip is towards the weekend so you can go and have a full day of shopping at their weekend market in Jatujak), sightsee (they have wonderful temples and beautiful architecture ---pretty much unusual for a westerner) and nightlife.

Plus, it is cheaper than Hongkong.
