Kl tower
The Kuala Lumpur Tower (KL Tower), also known as Menara Kuala Lumpur, is a 421-meter-tall (1,381-foot) telecommunication tower located in Bukit Nanas, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It is the seventh tallest telecommunication tower in the world and the tallest in Southeast Asia. The tower features an antenna that contributes to its total height of 421 meters, with the roof of its pod situated at 335 meters.
It serves multiple purposes, including telecommunications, acting as an Islamic falak observatory for sighting the crescent moon to mark the beginning of Muslim months, and offering tourism and adventure experiences.
The tower was officially opened to the public on 23 July 1996, following its completion in 1994, and was inaugurated by former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on 1 October 1996.
Visitors can access the tower via four elevators and a stairwell with 2,058 steps. The upper levels include a revolving restaurant, Atmosphere 360°, providing panoramic views of the city, and ...
The Chatuchak Weekend Market, often called JJ Market, stands as one of Bangkok’s most iconic attractions and the world’s largest weekend market. Its story begins in the early 1940s when the Thai government, under Prime Minister Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram, initiated a policy to establish local markets in every province to boost trade and make goods more accessible to people.
Bangkok’s first such market opened in 1942 at Sanam Luang, the grand open field near the Grand Palace, initially serving as a place for everyday items and fresh produce.
Over the following decades, the market relocated several times—to Sanam Chai briefly, then back to Sanam Luang in 1958—adapting to changing urban needs and government priorities.
By the mid-1970s, when General Kriangsak Chamanan shifted Sanam Luang toward recreational and ceremonial use, authorities allowed merchants to move southward to land adjacent to Chatuchak Park, made available through the State Railway of Thailand. This transition culminated ...
Bang Saen Beach, known locally as Hat Bang Saen, lies in Chonburi province, eastern Thailand, just about 14 kilometers from Chonburi city and roughly 100 kilometers east of Bangkok. This makes it one of the most accessible coastal spots for a quick escape from the capital, often drawing weekend crowds of Thai families and day-trippers rather than large numbers of international tourists.
The name Bang Saen originates from a poignant piece of local folklore involving two young lovers from Chonburi named Saen and Sam Muk. According to the legend, their love was unrequited or forbidden, leading them to tragically throw themselves off a cliff into the sea together in despair.
Their story gave rise to several place names in the area, including the nearby Khao Sam Muk hill, which features a shrine dedicated to the tale, and the beach itself carries the enduring echo of this romantic yet sorrowful narrative.
Historically, Bang Saen began as a modest fishing village along the Gulf of Thailand. Its ...
The Kasetsart University Market Fair 2026, widely known as Kaset Fair 2026 (งานเกษตรแฟร์ 2569), stands as one of Thailand’s largest and most expansive annual agricultural festivals, transforming the entire Bangkhen campus of Kasetsart University in Bangkok into a massive outdoor bazaar that draws huge crowds over its full run.
This year’s event, running from January 30 to February 7, 2026, spans nine full days and nights with daily hours from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

These include a broad mix from entrepreneurs, community enterprises, and foundations, plus around 238 student-run stalls and additional food-focused booths operated by student clubs.
The sheer volume creates an overwhelming scale, often described as a gigantic sprawling market that can feel almost too large to fully explore in a single visit, with pathways lined ...
