In the heart of Bangkok, just a short walk from the chaos of Siam’s mega malls and BTS stations, there’s a hidden garden where time seems to pause. Here, surrounded by banana trees, spirit houses, and koi-filled ponds, sits a traditional Thai teakwood home that feels like it’s watching the modern city through antique wooden windows.

Imagine driving down a quiet country road, and suddenly — the land explodes into color. Fields stretch for miles in neat rows of pink, red, orange, purple, and gold, like someone dropped a giant box of crayons on the Earth and let the colors run wild. No, you’re not in the Netherlands. You’re in Skagit Valley, Washington — home to the most breathtaking tulip bloom in the USA.
