Ang Thong, located 40 kilometers away from Ayutthaya, is a place where English is rarely spoken, making it challenging to book a Grab ride. Surprisingly, it boasts the tallest Buddha statue in Thailand, along with the largest outdoor reclining Buddha. Despite having such remarkable cultural treasures, tourism hasn't flourished here, probably due to transportation difficulties and the scattered nature of the temples.
Spent a full two days exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site.

There's a kind of hunger that only "grandmas " can sense, and it seems "grandmas " all over the world have this amazing ability.
During the last few days in Chiang Mai, I stayed in a rural guesthouse situated near a lake. Apart from the small cabin, there were no other facilities for miles around. As far as the eye could see, there were layers of trees. This was the closest I had ever been to nature. I thought I would feel happy because of the birdsong and the natural beauty, but it didn't turn out that way.
The longest jungle zip-lining in Thailand can be found in Chiang Mai! If you're not afraid of heights and love high-speed thrills, you must try this exhilarating adventure!
After a tough Muay Thai class, I treated myself to a two-hour Thai massage to ease my sore muscles. If Thailand is known for its massages, then Chiang Mai is definitely the best place to experience them!
Thanks to my experience with aerobic boxing at the gym, I became curious about Thai boxing. Many of the fundamental techniques in aerobic boxing are derived from Thai boxing. With a little practice, you can experience the practicality and strength of this martial art. While I was in Chiang Mai, I found out there was a Thai boxing class not far from my guesthouse. Without any hesitation, I immediately enrolled for a class the following day.
For Taiwanese people who have grown up seeing numerous night markets, it's not easy to pique our interest in visiting night markets every night. However, Chiang Mai's night market is different. With its strong northern Thai charm, diverse and delicious street food, and unique handmade crafts, has the magical appeal that makes I want to visit again and again!
