The Paradise that is Thailand

Thailand is a country located in a peninsula of Southeast Asia. It is considered to be a kingdom, both from a political and geographic point of view: a constitutional monarch with absolutely stunning landscapes, flora and fauna. The North of the country has a mountainous area, the centre is dominated by a river valley which runs into the Gulf of Thailand and to the West and East Thailand enjoys the gorgeous views of seas and oceans. In the past years, the tourism developed a lot, more and more people choosing this as a holiday destination.

But just like every great thing has a downside, Thailand is no exception. It also becomes increasingly famous for the cheap sex people can buy, prostitution and, of course, the “lady boys” Thailand provides. Depending on one’s interest, this country can provide almost everything: from pure wild nature, to the dazzling skyscrapers in Bangkok, an exotic culture and a special civilization, attraction of all sorts, festivals, etc.

22 Facts You May Not Have Known

Even at this age of instant information, there are just so many fascinating facts that we know nothing about, some of them challenging what we think we knew, while others just very surprising to read! Here are 22 fascinating little nuggets that you may be surprised to learn! 

Easter Islands Mystery Statues Once Walked

The mysterious stone statues of Easter Island once walked, according to a controversial new theory. 

The nature of the statues placement is one of the great mysteries of the modern world. There are almost 1000 statutes, known as moai, on the remote Polynesian island. They weigh up to 74 tonnes and measure up to 10 metres tall, and the method of their movement from the quarries where they were carved to their positions up to 800 years ago has been the source of much debate.

California State University archaeologist Carl Lipo has claimed the previously- believed theory that they were rolled into place using logs was not supported. Instead, his study suggests they were walked into place by rocking them from side to side.

Professor Lipo said the broken and incomplete statues leaned forward in a posture that was not consistent with horizontal transport.

The university's research team used a replica to demonstrate how the statues were walked into position.
