Restaurant in Thailand
No doubt going to a Thai Restaurant in Thailand is one of the top must-do and must-see when you visit Thailand. For centuries Thailand has been a cultural crossroad and that resulted in unique diversity of food, ingredients, spices, thousands of oriental smells and traditions.

Taking bits from cuisines of China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Laos, eating and preparing food in Thailand has become a culinary art and feast for the senses.

Taking bits from cuisines of China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Laos, eating and preparing food in Thailand has become a culinary art and feast for the senses. 
Actually Thailand’s food includes a blend of 4 basic tastes – salty, sweet, sour and pungent. The main ingredients used are chicken meat, rice, seafood and chilly peppers. Don’t be afraid if this sounds too dangerous for you – it is also full of international cuisine restaurants and vegetarian restaurants.
So, when you go eating somewhere in Thailand watch out carefully the menu or ask the waiter for some advice what to order, otherwise it can get really hot. The Artificial beach in Japan
Sun, sand and surf were everyone's prescription for holiday paradise, but, in the south of Japan, they leave nothing to Mother Nature.Inside a huge dome that could house six football pitches, the world’s largest artificial sea washes over the biggest indoor beach, fringed with fake palm trees and other eye-popping innovations that have given a holiday make-over to old Mother Nature.
This evocative 21st Century resort shows that even paradise has room for improvement. In Ocean Dome, once every hour, on the hour, the surf is always up. Every afternoon is a carnival. Mechanized parrots squawk from branches of the dome’s ingenious rain forest, which remain lush and tropical without rainfall or humidity. Best of all, in Ocean Dome, you can lull for hours on crushed marble pebbles without a worry about beach vendors, bugs or sun burns.
Instead, perfectly-timed waves whip equally well-groomed surfers along in 28-degree, chlorinated, salt-free water to the sanitized shore where they drip-dry in Ocean Dome’s perfect climate, which remains a delightful 30 degrees, day and night, 365.25 days each year.
Perhaps the best designed beach on the planet sits inside a massive dome measuring 300 by 100 meters, about 1,500 kilometers south of Tokyo in Miyazaki, on Japan’s southernmost Kyushu Island. A heated ocean with a width of 140 meters sends 13,500 tons of salt-free water sweeping across 600 tons of polished marble chips that constitute a 85-metre long shoreline, ringed by a three-story promenade of shops.
This prepackaged holiday vision of the future is part of an enormous US$2 billion recreational complex called Seagaia. The name itself is an odd concoction, melding the English word for the sea with "Gaia," an ancient Greek word for the Earth. "The name of a true paradise expresses the admiration for the perfect combination of sea and earth," explains one brochure from Seagaia, which ends: "This is a place where we can feel that we are part of nature."
