The Agra Fort (Qila Agra) is a historical fort in the city of Agra, and also known as Agra's Red Fort.
Mughal emperor Humayun was crowned at this fort. It was later renovated by the Mughal emperor Akbar from 1565 and the present-day structure was completed in 1573.
It served as the main residence of the rulers of the Mughal dynasty until 1638, when the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi. It was also known as the "Lal-Qila" or "Qila-i-Akbari". Before being captured by the British, the last Indian rulers to have occupied it were the Marathas.
In 1983, the Agra fort was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its importance during the Mughal Dynasty. It is about 2.5 kilometers (1.6 mi) northwest of its more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal.
The fort can be more accurately described as a walled city. It was later renovated by Shah Jahan.

Wat Pa Kho (วัดป่าโค, also spelled Wat Pa Ko or Wat Pa Koh) is a lesser-known but historically interesting active Buddhist temple in Ayutthaya, Thailand. Unlike the more famous ruined temples in the central Historical Park (like Wat Mahathat or Wat Phra Si Sanphet), this one remains in use by monks and the local community.
The temple dates back to the late Ayutthaya period, built around B.E. 2100 (approximately 1557 or mid-16th century).
It was originally part of a meditation (vipassana) lineage of temples in the Ayutthaya area.
The name “Pa Kho” translates to “Cattle Forest” or “Cattle Quarter/Market” in English. “Pa” means forest/wood, and “Kho” refers to cattle (วัวควาย or oxen/buffaloes). This reflects its historical location near a major cattle trading market (ป่าคอ or “cattle forest/market”) during the Ayutthaya era, where merchants bought and sold livestock. The area was once called Ban Sala Kaeo ...
Laem Charoen Beach, also known as Hat Laem Charoen, is a charming and laid-back coastal spot located just about 5 kilometers from the center of Rayong city in eastern Thailand.
Situated in the Tha Pradu subdistrict along Taksin Maharat Road, this beach serves as a popular local escape rather than a major tourist destination, offering a genuine Thai seaside vibe where families, locals, and visitors from nearby Bangkok come to unwind, enjoy fresh seafood, and soak in the relaxed atmosphere.

This connection has helped establish the beach as a go-to spot for seafood lovers, with many restaurants drawing from traditions that emphasize simple, high-quality preparations of local marine bounty.
Over time, it has evolved ...
