2. The white temple, south of Chiang Rai, North Thailand
This one-of-a-kind temple was erected in honor of the current king of Thailand, and from afar may look ancient. When you get closer, however, you'll see that indeed this masterpiece was created in the 20th century, because right next to the images and statues of the Buddha and the complex artwork, there are murals depicting popular culture images like superman, batman, aliens etc. Some of these sculptures can be downright bizarre and disturbing! So even if you think you know what temples look like, don't miss this surreal place. You won't regret it.

6. Khao San Road, Bangkok
Khao San Road takes you on a long path that offers a five-sense experience. This is how you experience the unlimited energy of Bangkok by checking out the neverending rows of stalls offering food, memorabilia, massages, fabrics and much, much more. If you can imagine it, you'll find it here.
This area is energetic and alive, full of bars and restaurants. That said, this isn't the place for fine dining, but it does open you to the rich culture of Thailand and its unique foods, from exotic fruits to edible insects (if you're feeling adventurous). If you want to see the true abundance of Thailand, this is the place to come to. Go to The NEXT Page for More Pictures >>>
