Beautiful places in Papua New Guinea

Travel To Papua New Guinea

Kainantu


A small town in the Eastern Highlands, not much here besides basic stores. It's known as a somewhat dangerous rascol town with high unemployment. You would be wise to meet someone as you get off the bus, or head straight for the nearest store. However you can catch a PMV to a place called SIL (The Summer Institute of Linguistics) A christian based organisation that is endeavouring to translate the bible into as many languages as possible. You can go there for a look around, or use their stores which are quite well equipped. Theres also locals gold mining in the area, just ask around and you could pay someone to drive you into the hills to see their workings. There is a nice cultural center in town which sells mainly locally made pottery but also other traditional crafts, such as bilums and bows and arrows.

Travel To Mongolia

Karakorum


















Mongolia’s ancient capital, Kharakhorum, Chinggis Khaan’s fabled city, was founded in 1220 in the Orkhon valley, at the crossroads of the Silk Road. It was from there that the Mongol Empire governed, until Khubilai Khaan moved it to Beijing. The symbolic ruins of Kharakhorum (Harhorin), monumental walls (400 m of length) with 108 stupas, surround the first Buddhist monastery in Mongolia Erdene Zuu Monastery, built in 1586. In 1792, it housed 62 temples and 10,000

Thai food

Top 10 Thai Dishes - 10 - Kai Pad Med Mamuang Himmapan (Stir-Fried Chicken with Cashew Nuts)
Gai Pad Met Mamuang (Stir-Fried Chicken with Cashew Nuts) Even though Gai Pad Met Mamuang does not represent the overview of Thai food but it is a very nice treat to your taste buds. Since it is by no means spicy or hot, this slightly sweet and salty chicken fried with crunchy cashew nuts is aptly satiating for children or beginners who are not used to spices.

Beautiful Places in Thailand


Thailand


Ko Phi Phi Leh

A part of the Ko Phi Phi archipelago, I’m sure every travel maniac has heard about this island, especially after being the main filming location for Leonardo DiCaprio’s “The Beach” movie from 2000. Though the movie was highly criticized by Thailand officials for environmental issues and for messing Thailand’s image, there’s no doubt that for Ko Phi Phi it was the best thing that could ever happen for local tourism.

Located in the Krabi province, the island was almost completely destroyed by a tsunami in 2004, rebuilding efforts were made and now the island is welcoming tourists again, with its beautiful limestone cliffs and shallow bays which offer amazing views and are a paradise for divers.
