Thailand is a
Paradise that shows more and more unexpected facets as you discover it. The
name of the capital, Bangkok. Thai attractions have a unique atmosphere that
makes even ordinary things extraordinary, from restaurants filled with condoms
to treehouses to adorable corgis in a cafe. Thai people love realistic dolls, print
their selfies on totally unexpected situations, and even David Beckham found
himself a place in a Buddhist temple.
1. There are
About 22 types of bananas growing in Thailand. And some of them are really huge
There are 300
different kinds of bananas growing around the world, including 22 in Thailand.
Some of these types have required many years of selective breeding to look like
they are today. There are also sweet and savory bananas, which are available in
small and large sizes.
Thai people
do not only eat bananas, but they boil their flowers in coconut milk, wrap
their products in banana leaves and make banana stalk fibers to make buckets,
Hats, and other products.
2. Make
yourself feel like the character of Stranger Things at the Bangkok Float Center
For those who
have not watched the Stranger Things series - there are a lot of things going
On, but it's mostly about a girl with supernatural powers. It highlights them
floating in a box of sensory deprivation.
To experience
It in real life, you can go to the Bangkok Float Center. Simply cool off in a
25 cm high bath with salt water for one hour. Everything happens in total
darkness. It's supposed to relieve stress and improve your health.
3. There is a
hotel in the form of prison for those who want to experience an incarceration
For those who
have always wondered what prisoners feel, there is a hotel experience on the
theme of jail at SooK Station! You get a number to use as a key, a blouse, and
you can share a room behind bars with other guests, like in a real prison. it's
not exciting enough for you, you can go to "solitary confinement."
4. There is a
food market on the railroad for those who favor dangerous races
Although the
Maeklong railway market is just one market where you can buy fresh fruits and
vegetables, there is something that makes it a bit more special - it is located
along the railway line. Several times a day, a train passes directly through
the market. In this situation, the salesmen only move their goods, wait for the
passage of the train and return to work, as usual.
Buyers can
walk along the tracks, but they must be cautious.
5. Realistic
dolls are thought to bring luck
Thailand is a
land of rituals and amulets, so it is not surprising that even babies can
become a source of good fortune. The dolls Luk them (which translates as "angel
child") are handled with the utmost care in Thailand.
We think that
if you are kind to them, they will bring you luck. That's why people change the
clothes of their dolls, keep them in their office, hire babysitters for them,
and even offer them special meals in the restaurant!
6. A Corgi
coffee for all dog lovers
If you like
unusual places and you like dogs, then Thailand is a country for you. Begin
with this lovely Corgi coffee! Initially, 2 of the owner's dogs had seven
puppies, and their numbers have not stopped growing. The owner wanted to share
this pleasure and joy with other people, so he decided to open this heavenly
place. Adorable and friendly corgis and tasty meals are waiting for you!
7. Cabbages
and Condoms - a restaurant with a weird name and even more unusual decorations
Cabbages and
Condoms is a Bangkok restaurant with a rather provocative title, but its main
idea is to draw people's attention to social issues. Their logo is "Our
food will not make you pregnant," which is rather unusual. The restaurant
encourages the idea that people should not be afraid to buy condoms. It's a
casual object, just like cabbages!
Do not forget
to take your camera there - different dolls in the restaurant are decorated
with ... you guessed it, condoms.
8. A big
festival filled with food organized just for the monkeys of the area!
Another place
to visit is Lopburi or "Monkey City." It is a place where the Monkey
Buffet Festival takes place. During the festival, a lot of food is set up on a
collection of large tables - there are nuts, pineapples, bananas, watermelons,
and many more. And all this is prepared just for the local monkeys!
Even though
the monkeys are revered in Thai folklore, the event itself was created to
attract more tourists.
