Welcome in May.
This month is going to be all about Laos, i.e., Lao People’s Democratic Republic.
Have you been to this country or what have you heard about Laos?
Laos – Introduction
Tag: Asia
Thailand – Golden Triangle
Golden Triangle is an area where people used to grow opium, at the boarder or Laos, Myanmar and Thailand.
You can visit the place e.g., while being in Thailand, but I don’t really think it’s worth visiting…
Thailand – Geysers nearby Chiang Mai
Geysers nearby Chiang MaOn today’s picture you can see a small geyser, protected with a fence.
There are some hot springs and geysers in Chiang Mai province.
As in similar places around the world, locals boil eggs “in the geyser” and sell them to tourists. 🙂
Thailand – Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai, with its nearby attractions, is one of the most interesting places for tourists in Thailand.
Of course, foreigners go to Bangkok or islands and it’s also fine, but I think Chiang Mai offers much more.
Thailand – Bridge on the River Kwai
“Bridge on the River Kwai” is a title of a fictional British-American war film, that was based on the novel by Pierre Boulle.
It has a very characteristic song that’s whistled in a movie several times.
You can see that bridge in Thailand.
Well, it may be nothing special, but I remember this song from my childhood, because my father was whistling it very often, so I really wanted to see that bridge. 🙂
Thailand – Floating Market
Visiting floating markets is one of a must-do while being in Thailand.
Even it’s something very touristic, it’s still an interesting experience to see the market located on the boats, while being on a boat.
Thailand – Chiang Rai
Chiang Rai has a few tourist attractions, but I still recommend to focus just on the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun). Well, some people may say it’s a beautiful temple, but “creepy” is also a good description.
Anyway, it’s something unique and worth visiting.
