Travel like the Miss Universe in Thailand

The Miss Universe pageant that just took place in Thailand was also a way to promote another beauty that is seducing the world: Thailand.

Here are the places the Miss Universe 2018 contestants visited in Thailand that you should add to your itinerary.

1. Wuttisak Snail Farm in Bangkok

The Misses' journey begins in the capital, BangkokAnd with something out of the ordinary.

The Wuttisak Snail Farm in Thailand raises snails and extracts the mucus from them for use in various cosmetic products that we know today.

2. Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya

Located on the waterfront, the Sanctuary of Truth is an architectural feat as it is an intricately designed temple made of wood.

Built only in 1982, it can easily be mistaken for an old structure.

The admiration it provokes in its visitors is certainly worthwhile.

4. Royal Thai Navy Marine Turtle Conservation Centre in Sattahip

A little south of Pattaya is Sattahip, a district in Thailand that is home to the Royal Thai Navy's sea turtle conservation centre.

Not only can you enjoy a beautiful view of the beach, but you can also learn about sea turtle conservation.

5. Islands of Krabi Province

If you want the smell of the beach and the kiss of the sun but absolutely hate crowded beaches, the islands of Krabi are your kind of destination!

As they are less developed and less populated than the beaches of Phuket and Koh Samui, the islands of Krabi allow you to be closer to nature.

6. Wat Arun in Bangkok

What is a trip to Thailand without visiting its temples?

To finish the trip, we return to the capital and visit one of the most dazzling temples in the country.

With a name that translates to "Temple of Dawn", the name Wat Arun is derived from the Hindu god Aruna, often personified by the heat of the sun.

The temple will make you feel at peace as it is located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River and will give you a magnificent view especially at night.
