5 unusual places to visit in Thailand

Today, we decided to present five original places in Thailand that are rarely proposed by tour guides or book about Thailand (except for James Bond Island). Come on, let’s go!

 

Sam Pan Bok Ubon Ratchathani

 

 

Sam Pan Bok in the province of Ubon Ratchathani. Also named the Grand Canyon of Siam, it is an amazing place where nature has carved thousands (3000 if you believe its name) craters in the rock.
People do not expect to find such a landscape in Thailand!

Wat Lan Khuat Thailande

 

 

 

The Temple of One Million Bottles or Wat Lan Khwat in Sisaket province. It is a temple built exclusively with empty bottles of glass and cement. An original idea for recycling !

James Bond Island Phuket

 

 

 
James Bond Island, the famous island seen in The Man with the Golden Gun. Thais call it Koh Tapu which means the nail island and it is true it looks like a nail in the sea
Sanctuaire de la Vérité Pattaya

 

 

 
The Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya. It is a beautiful and impressive building made entirely of wood without nails or screws using ancestral techniques.

Phallus Shrine Bangkok

 

 

The Phallus Shrine in Bangkok near BTS Chitlom where you will find hundreds of penis sculptures placed there to pay respect to Chao Mae Tubtim figure of female fertility.

I would have added the huge Big Buddha at Wat Muang in Ang Thong but I put it a little too often in this type of selections;)
