At the base of towering limestone cliffs in the desert of Deir el-Bahari stands one of Egypt’s most elegant and enigmatic structures: the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. Blending into the cliffs like it was born from them, this three-tiered masterpiece tells the story of a woman who ruled like a god—and made sure the world would never forget it.

As soon as I dipped my toes into the crystal-clear pool at the base of Erawan Falls, I knew this place was something special. It wasn’t just another waterfall – it felt like stepping into a living postcard, where every tier above held a new surprise, a new shade of turquoise, a fresh splash of adventure. Welcome to Thailand’s photographic wonder, Erawan National Park.
