Just above Tivat, Gornja Lastva is a tiny mountain village that seems to have slipped through the cracks of time. With its old stone houses, narrow cobblestone streets, and stunning views of the Bay of Kotor, it’s one of those places that’s perfect for getting away from the crowds. There’s not much happening here, just a few visitors wandering around the churches, grabbing a coffee at a local café, or chatting with the locals.

The National Museum Bangkok is the biggest museum in Southeast Asia and a great stop, alongside the Museum of Siam, if you want to understand Thai history and art. It’s spread across several buildings, showcasing everything from ancient sculptures and royal regalia to traditional costumes and ceramics. The collection can feel a bit overwhelming, so it’s worth focusing on the highlights—like the giant Buddha statues and the Bangkok-period royal artefacts. Guided tours are available if you want the backstory behind the displays, but wandering on your own gives a good sense of Thailand’s past at your own pace.

The Hokkaido Shrine is said to be the oldest temple in Japan. After a wonderful stroll through Murayama Park, you get to the Shrine. The entrance to the temple is very traditional with little stone pillars on either side and traditional ceremonies are held regularly.

With ten zones and over 90 wax figures, you will find yourself busy at Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in Bangkok. Here you can pose with A-list celebrities such as Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts on the red carpet or hop on stage with your favourite stars such as Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.
