✴︎
If you’re extremely lucky, you may spot a leopard 🐆, wild elephant 🐘, a sloth bear 🐻 or maybe even a majestic royal Bengal tiger 🐅(which is the premier attraction of the place).
📍Bangkok, Thailand.
Have you ever been to a market on the river? If not, you need to try the floating market in Asia. This picture was captured in the small canals of Bangkok 🙏
✴︎
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in Ratchaburi is one of the most popular floating markets in Thailand. Every day many Thais and foreign tourists travel here to shop, eat and absorb the atmosphere of Thailand’s water markets that have been like this for more than 100 years 🚣♀️

The benefits of option 3 is cheaper prices, less crowded and the amazingly green countryside! 😄
📍Bagan, Myanmar.
One of the best things to do while in Bagan is to watch the sunrise and the sunset over the temples. And there is without doubt no better place to watch the sunrise than from a hot air balloon 🎈From the hot air balloon you will see more than 2000 Buddhist and Hindu temples, farms of cotton and peanuts, and hundreds of palm trees - sounds amazing, right? 🙏
📍Koh Phi Phi, Thailand.
Do you know the meaning behind the colorful decorations in the front of the boat? Most Thais are Buddhists, and they decorate the boats to receive Buddha’s blessing of good luck. To them, the bow of the boat is Buddha’s head, guiding them through rough seas to arrive safely at their destination 🙏

Where is the best place in Sri Lanka to see elephants? This question can be answered in three words. IN THE WILD. Sri Lanka is an amazing place to watch the elephants in their natural habits 🙏

📍Kathmandu, Nepal.
Backpacking in Kathmandu is unlike any other capital city experience in the world. 2,000 years worth of history live among the collapsing walls and still standing temples 🤩

Kathmandu is just one of those cities you either love at first sight or book a bus straight out of, never looking back. We definitely fall into the first category 😍
📍Taj Mahal, India.
