Have you been to a place you thought it's absolutely quirky, weird, unbelievable? Share it with us. Would you recommend it for other to visit?
Mine would be: Prague.
Even though it's a popular tourist destination, Prague is filed with the quirky statues from David Cerny which I thought were absolutely weird – creepy crawling babies, men pissing on Prague's map, the upside down horse, the hanging man... All of them have strong social meaning once you start reading about it.
I wrote about some of the quirky statues in Prague in a very old post from 2017 (scroll down to the end for pictures): https://travellingbuzz.com/one-day-prague-must-see-places-quirky-statues/

I’m in Bangkok for the next week!
It’s my first time back in over two years, so I’m curious about what’s new to check out 😀
Please share any tips (must be new, Eg < 6 months) of restaurants, rooftop bars, shops, sightseeing, etc here.
I’ll add to this thread if I come across anything new to share, too!
Now is a great time to visit in my opinion. If you are fully vaccinated you can visit without a PCR test or quarantine. 2019 saw 40 million visitors, today it is a small fraction of that number. I recently drove from Bangkok to Phuket over 3 weeks with a lot of stops. You can expect some good prices and a lot less tourists.
Hey Ian,
I saw that The Standard opened up a new property in Bangkok...which I think could be a good spot to add to your list!
Here's a write-up in Dezeen: www.dezeen.com/2022/03/29/the-standard-bangkok-mahanakhon-hotel/
Safe travels!
Hello Ian,
How was your trip? Any finds you wanna share?
