The Skywalk is a recent addition to the temple complex of Wat Doi Ti in Lamphun Province. Opened to the public in August 2024, the glass-bottomed skywalk provides an elevated viewpoint overlooking the surrounding hills and lowlands of Northern Thailand. Its design is simple and functional, allowing visitors to walk across transparent panels while taking in the scenery below.

A Glimpse of Taal Volcano
Seen from a distance, the landscape looks almost poetic, but its geography is anything but simple. Renowned for its unusual setting, a volcano within a lake on an island inside another lake, Taal is one of the country’s most studied and closely monitored geological features. Its proximity to densely populated areas, coupled with its frequent activity, has made it both a scientific focus and a source of constant vigilance.
Lampang’s Sky Pagoda
Set on Doi Pu Yak mountain, the Wat Phra Bat Sutthawat’s white pagoda complex crowns the ridge at about 815 meters above sea level, often appearing to float when clouds roll in. Reaching this height, however, has been the most challenging part of the trip. From the parking area, a songthaew takes visitors on a steep 10–15 minute ride to the trailhead, followed by a short flat walk before the real test begins: hundreds of stair steps climbing sharply toward the summit. The ascent, roughly 30 minutes in total, is physically demanding despite the presence of rest stops, making the climb both a mental and physical effort.
Perlas ng Silang
A visit to Perlas ng Silang Flower Park and Garden Restaurant this December felt more like a brief stop than a destination one would linger in. Located in Barangay Pulong Bunga, Silang, Cavite, the park is a 3.5-hectare flower park and dining destination that opened in 2022. Conceived as a blend of landscaped gardens, rare plants, and on-site restaurants, it has become a popular nature-and-food side trip for travelers passing through the Silang–Tagaytay area.
The Gingerbread House in Alfonso, Cavite
Inside the Gingerbread House theme park, candy canes, gumdrops, gingerbread figures, oversized teddy bears, and miniature gingerbread houses fill the surroundings. The design is clearly geared toward children, but the overall setup feels fairly basic. It doesn’t take long to go through, and the experience is more about visual cues and photo stops than any sense of immersion or discovery.
Baan Louis, the King and I
Known locally as Baan Louis, the Louis T. Leonowens House is often mentioned because of its indirect but well-known link to The King and I. The connection comes through Anna Leonowens, the mother of Louis T. Leonowens. Anna served in the 1860s as tutor to the children of King Mongkut (Rama IV), an experience that later became the basis for Western novels, stage productions, and films.
