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 a place where the mountains seem to breathe, where turquoise lakes shimmer like spilled paint, and where wildlife roams like it's still 10,000 BC. Welcome to Banff National Park — Canada's first, and arguably most jaw-dropping, national park. Set in the heart of the Canadian Rockies in Alberta, this is not your average postcard destination. It’s wild, weirdly peaceful, and packed with natural wonder.
