Kanchanaburi river cabins, Thailand
If you have good sea legs and a fondness for the unusual, then don’t settle for a hotel with foundations set in stone.
Forensic medicine museum, Thailand
Home to a bloodied t-shirt from someone stabbed to death with a dildo, plus the murder weapon. Unsurprising the museum lacks its own restaurant.
Elephant rescue centre, Thailand
An elephant camp in Thailand where riding on their backs is strictly forbidden. What’s that all about?
Quirky Thailand: rooftop waterpark
For that ‘on top of the world’ feeling, try whooshing down a water slide high up on a rooftop amongst the skyscrapers of Bangkok.
Quirky Thailand: Monkey Beach
The islands of Phuket have some of the most famous beaches in the world. But there’s one tiny beach that all the tourists flock to – and not for cocktails.
Quirky Thailand: The Erawan Museum
Towering above the treetops in Bangkok’s suburbs, the 17-storey three-headed elephant is enough to make any passer-by feel like part of a Steven King adaptation.
Quirky Thailand: Royal Dragon Restaurant
If you like swift service in a restaurant you can’t beat place in Bangkok, where the waiters serve you on roller skates – and one of them can fly!
Quirky Thailand: Wat Rong Khun
A fantasy ice palace or a frosted wedding cake: whatever your opinion, Thailand’s Wat Rong Khun is certainly unique.
Quirky Asia: elephant polo
Think polo is an upper class sport played only on the fleetest of horseflesh? Think again. The variety of the game played in Asia is a whole different animal.
Quirky Thailand: Phranakorn Nornlen
Escape the frenetic bustle of Bangkok at this quirky hotel, an oasis of calm in the midst of one of the world’s most chaotic cities.
