Trésors cachés en Thaïlande

Hidden Gems

Beyond Thailand's primary tourist hubs lies a collection of distinct architectural and natural landmarks. This selection features the Sanctuary of Truth, a massive hand-carved wooden structure in Pattaya, and Wat Samphran, a pink tower encircled by a giant dragon. It includes the Temple of a Million Bottles in Sisaket, constructed from recycled glass, and the sunken ruins of Wat Saam Prasob. From the seven-tiered Erawan Waterfall to the ancient Khmer ruins of Prasat Preah Vihear situated atop a 525-meter cliff, these sites represent Thailand's diverse cultural and geographical heritage.
