This is a country, where tourists from all age group, must visit once – but as a bachelor. Oh wait, do not cancel the trip if you have planned it already with your partner or family, because Thailand will not disappoint any one of you, of any ages. The lush tropical topography and a part of Indo-China have a lot of resemblance to India. In fact it feels like a cultural cousin of India.

You will find such small places of worship in front of all the dwellings throughout Thailand.

Sleeping Buddha in Wat Chalong, Phuket. |
- Buddhist temples and monasteries - Thailand is primarily a Buddhist country with lot influence from India and Hindu culture. Ayutthaya Kings built a lot of temples and Buddha statues as a sign of prosperity and peace, which are evident throughout. They have their own south-east version of Ramayana. The very name Ayutthaya is derived from the Ayodhya, the birthplace of Hindu lord Ram. Buddhism has been the main spring from which flow its ethos and philosophy, its art and literature, its ethics and morality, and many of its folkways and festivals. Foreigners looking for nirvana, peace and wisdom have lot to imbibe here.
That sums up the night life in Phuket for you :)
