Online feedback suggests that Thailand's bustling capital is notorious for its dense crowds and less-than-crystal-clear river waters. Khaosan Road, a magnet for backpackers, was singled out for being overly commercialised.

TripAdvisor forum posts have branded Bangkok as "overrated" and too congested. Even the local cuisine didn't escape criticism, with some tourists finding the Boat Noodles and Pad Thai disappointing in quality despite their affordability, reports the Mirror.

Toronto claimed the second spot, with an astonishing 186.8 percent of visitors reporting a sense of disillusionment. The CN Tower stood out as the city's most underwhelming feature, with complaints about the city's high costs and lengthy queues for attractions.

Tokyo took the third position, with 16.6 percent of tourists expressing dissatisfaction, pointing to the Hachiko statue at Shibuya Crossing as a particularly anticlimactic sight.
