If you happen to be fond of unusual places and are a dog lover, then Thailand knows how to entertain you. Start with this adorable Corgi café! Originally 2 of the owner’s dogs had 7 puppies, and their number just kept growing. The owner wanted to share this fun and joy with other people, so he decided to open this heavenly place. Adorable, friendly corgis and tasty meals are waiting for you!

Drinking coffee is brought to a whole new fun level in Thailand! If ordinary milk foam seems too ordinary for you, then you can place an order to print your selfie of top of it. KC Selfie Coffee in Bangkok serves beverages like this for everyone — all you need to do is send them your photo in advance on Facebook and then just come pick it up. They also sell tea and other beverages with these prints.

If you visit Thailand around April, you might have a chance to participate in a big and very important celebration — the Thai Water Festival, Songkran, that marks the beginning of the Thai New Year. Its most recognizable part is getting people wet using buckets and water guns. It is believed that by being soaked in water you get “purified,” so no one will leave the event dry!

Thailand is a country of rituals and amulets, so there is no surprise that even dolls can become a source of a good fortune. Luk thep (which translates to “child angel”) dolls, are handled very carefully in Thailand.

It is believed that if you are nice to them, they will bring you great luck. That’s why people change the clothes of their dolls, keep them in their office, hire babysitters for them, and even buy them special meals at restaurants!

This ancient city is 320 acres of beautiful gardens, water, and ancient architecture. The city itself is a mini-replica of the country that represents its most important buildings and structures. There are over 116 monuments that are placed in a certain geographic position with the same design — the main idea is to preserve the authentic and rich Thai culture for the upcoming generations.

One of the most impressive of these buildings is the Sumeru Mountain Palace, which is guarded by a giant Anand fish.

For those who want to be in unity with nature and to disengage from worldly vanity, there is a place where you can relax in a treehouse hidden in a forest in Keemala. You can start your day with morning yoga, spa treatments, and enjoy food with herbs and veggies, picked by chefs from the local plants. And you can do it all in a tree house. Some treehouses are equipped with amazing deep outdoor baths where you can enjoy the view of the forest and the nearby sea.

Although the Maeklong Railway Market is just a market where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables, there’s something that makes it a little more special — it’s situated right along the train line. Several times a day a train comes and runs directly through the market. In this situation, they just move their goods, wait till the train passes by and then keep working as usual.

Buyers can walk along the rail lines, but have to be extremely careful.

Cabbages and Condoms is a restaurant in Bangkok that has a rather defiant name, but its main idea is to direct people’s attention to social issues. Their motto is “Our food won’t make you pregnant,” which is a rather unusual one. The restaurant wants to promote a better understanding of family and pushes the idea that people shouldn’t be afraid of buying condoms. They’re a casual item, just like cabbages!

Don’t forget to bring your camera there — different dolls in the restaurant are decorated with... you guessed it, condoms.

For those who’ve always wondered how prisoners’ feel, there is a prison-themed hotel experience at SooK Station in Bangkok! You get an inmate number to use as a key, a robe, and can share a room behind bars with other guests, like in a real prison. You will also share a bathroom with them. If this is not thrilling enough for you, you can go into “solitary confinement.”

This nice crunchy toast is a favorite snack of many people. People in Thailand love to add a crazy twist to the most ordinary things — the Happy Cheese Toast cafe offers you the chance to eat a rainbow! They mix gooey cheeses, like mozzarella and swiss, and add some food coloring. As a result, you get loads of fun for your stomach and nice photos for your Instagram.

This is a pop-up cafe, so you have to check their Facebook to see where they are going to be next.

Another must visit place is Lopburi, or “Monkey City.” It’s a place where The Monkey Buffet Festival takes place. During the festival lots of food is set up on a collection of large tables — there are various nuts, pineapples, bananas, watermelons, and lots more. And all of this is prepared just for the local monkeys!

Even though monkeys are worshipped in Thai folklore, the event itself was created just to attract more tourists.

The greatest example of how things can be recycled and reused is The Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew temple, that is also called the Temple of a Million Bottles. This amazing building is made out of 1.5 million empty Heineken bottles and Chang beer bottles!

Buddhist monks got tired of removing bottles from the water, so they decided to ask the local people to bring these bottles directly to them instead of throwing them away. This brilliant idea once again raises the awareness of how serious pollution has become.

Another interesting market to visit in Bangkok is The Amulet Market. People come here in search of pendants, talismans, and charms to protect themselves and bring good fortune. There are no witches or shamans there, people are supposed to find the pieces that speak to their hearts.

Prices can also vary — from really cheap ones to very expensive. No matter whether you believe in pendants or not, visiting this place will be an interesting experience.

It feels like people in Thailand can’t just sit and eat in peace — they always have to do something a little bit extra. This time they mixed European-style aesthetics and the eating of insects. Each meal is exclusive and professionally done. And there is one thing that we can say for sure: not everyone would dare to try it.

Tourists know this Buddhist temple as David Beckham temple, though, its official name is Wat Pariwat. The explanation of how the famous soccer player is connected to spiritual practices is pretty interesting. The head monk of the temple is a big Manchester United supporter, so he decided to place a little figure of David inside the temple.

Beckham doesn’t play for Manchester United anymore, but his figure still stays there as a great tourist attraction.

The Yi Peng Lantern Festival in Thailand is a big celebration filled with unforgettable positive emotions. During the festival people write their wishes and prayers on rice paper lanterns and let them float in the sky. It is believed that the wish will come true only if you do good deeds over the next year.

In 1999 The New World Mall in Bangkok caught fire and was abandoned. Then it got filled up by rainwater and started causing a mosquito problem. To solve this issue, local authorities decided to stock the waters with tilapia fish so they can eat these nasty insects.

Soon enough, the fishes filled the space and the mall became a new tourist attraction. Now you can enjoy the post-apocalyptic view and even buy some food to feed the fish.

It seems like Thai people are really into unusual hotels. This time they went for the food — pineapple, dragon fruit, durian, mushrooms, and even bamboo — tasty looking, but totally inedible. The owners grow durian and other interesting fruit nearby and attract nature lovers from all around the world.

You can also enjoy the view of a beautiful waterfall and mountains from there.

Ba Ba Liu is a restaurant in Thailand where the owners have created something that is simply genius. People become busier with each passing year and sometimes need to combine walking and eating. So, these innovative restauranteurs decided to make this process as comfortable as possible.

This restaurant serves beverages and food together — just combine a special plate with food and a plastic cup and straw together! The plates have a hole in the middle so you can put the straw through it and enjoy your food on the go.

For those who haven’t watched the Stranger Things series — there are a lot of things going on in the show, but it’s mostly about a girl with supernatural powers. She enhances them by floating in a sensory deprivation tank.

To experience this in real life you can try a sensory deprivation tank at the Bangkok Float Center. You just chill in a 10-inch high bath with salt water for an hour. All in complete darkness. This is supposed to relieve stress and boost your health.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell which products are real and which are fake. In this museum, visitors can find a replica of literally almost any brand: from exact copies to real jokes. Some of them have letters replaced and some of them have different variations of styles and colors that make them look ridiculous.

The main idea of the museum is to raise awareness of how harmful the counterfeit business is. Sadly, Thailand is well-known for producing counterfeit goods and most producers use child labor and toxic chemicals in the production of these goods.

If you love shopping and trying local fruits and vegetables, then this place is for you. Visit another unusual market in Thailand — the floating market. You can find basically any tasty food you need there, but they’re all sold on small boats around a river.

The market starts in the early morning, and once you get there you can get a boat for yourself with a driver. Sellers who are trying to attract business and the many curious visitors create a buzz that adds its own charm to the market.

You can find 300 different types of bananas that grow around the world, and 22 of them grow in Thailand. Some of these types took many years of selective breeding to make them look like they do today. Also, there are sweet and savory types of bananas, that come in smaller and bigger sizes.

Thai people not only eat bananas, but they boil their flowers in coconut milk, wrap products in banana leaves, and make banana stalk fiber to make buckets, hats, and other goods.
