As Thailand’s premier snake research and conservation centre, the Snake Farm offers visitors a rare glimpse into the world of these often misunderstood reptiles. Wander the grounds to see native snakes, from King Cobras to pit vipers, and catch live demonstrations, short talks, and interactive displays. It’s both educational and a little thrilling — a safe way to get up close with snakes while learning about conservation.

You’ll feel like you’ve crossed the border, but you’re not quite there yet. Of course, you’re aware that Maastricht’s central location in the Euregio means you can be in Belgium very quickly. But you don’t really feel it until you see how the city, and the countryside around it, is layered with a unique mix of foreign influences. With the Sint Pietersberg hill, the historic caves, the vineyards, Fort Sint Pieter, and Château Neercanne as backdrop, this part of the city has everything you need to capture that holiday feeling. Sint Pieter was its own municipality until 1920. This part of the city was always outside the city walls (and so had it the toughest in times of war). Then, it was mainly farmers who lived here; now, it’s mostly families, epicureans, and a few descendants of the inhabitants of that old Sint Pieter. Today, Sint Pieter is Maastricht’s most popular residential district, not just for its beautiful houses but because of its ideal location between city and green. And it still feels like its own town, with its own social life, and charm, even though it’s just a stone’s throw away from the city park. In fact, it has the best of both worlds: village and city. Nature and culture.

You can visit the final resting place of Tonga's royalty at this site. While you can only see the tombs from a good distance, it's worth visiting the area as there is also a small church and park nearby.
