In a country overflowing with fairytale castles, the Château de Chenonceau somehow still manages to steal the spotlight. Gracefully arched across the River Cher in the heart of the Loire Valley, this château isn’t just another royal relic—it’s a masterpiece of elegance, innovation, and the undeniable power of women.

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.
