» Interest in extraterrestrial things (and beings) make a comeback to the Thai collective consciousness, thanks to asteroid 2006 QQ23 flying by and a viral video in which a local man, who claims to be a medium of Pluto God, warns humanity of 2020 doomsday in an alien tongue. This got us thinking about the local interest in UFOs and aliens, and how Thailand is linked to alien stories in a way that you may not be aware of. We aren't saying we believe in Pluto God or trying to convince you one way or another but there are many pieces of evidence (of varying degrees of credibility) of alleged alien visits to the Land Of Smiles and they are too fascinating not to share.

» Muslim communities have a long history of making an impact on our landscape. There are around 3,500 mosques scattered around the country, with over 200 in Bangkok and nearby areas, some of them dating back over a century. While the areas of Charoen Krung, Ramkamhaeng and Minburi are known for their concentration of Muslim communities, in terms of architecture some of the most exquisite and unspoilt mosques lie elsewhere, especially in the South. But if time is limited, there are two mosques near Bangkok that are hidden gems of Malay architecture and history, as well as a glimpse at our connection with the South.
