Forget what we expected it to be like – Thailand is what it is! This incredible country, so filled with contrasts, has been a fascinating place to get to know. Find out what a rustic gas station looks like, which social media network Thais are surprisingly active on, and why Thailand is 543 years in the future…

We spent one day this week with the elephants at the Elephant Nature Park north of Chiang Mai, an elephant sanctuary which is home to over 30 rescued elephants.

There is just something we can’t resist about the Caribbean – this Polaroid pretty much sums that right up!

The Aztec performers on Mexico City’s Zocalo are an interesting sight – dressed up in traditional costumes, they dance here every day – a major tourist attraction.
