Travel Digest #1079

in Pinmapple3 years ago

Introduction


Hello everyone! This is @ybanezkim26 and I'll be presenting today's edition of #TravelDigest. Today's selections are peculiar places. One cafe in Thailand has a garden which really looked good based on the photos. Another is a rock formation in Australia that became a set in fiction stories and movies. The third one is a dam in Romania that became a source of clean water in the area. They might seem normal at first glance, so you need to read those posts to find out. The honorable mentions are not lagging behind either. I'm interested in places with certain peculiarities. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy today's posts.

Our winners today 🍍


🥇 Chom Cafe and Restaurant Chiang Mai, Thailand by @george-topalov

We arrived at Chom Cafe early afternoon. At this time of the day and of the year there is a queue outside. We had to wait about 20 minutes before we could go in. Once you are in, the restaurant and cafe part is indoors and you can look at the garden while eating or enjoying your beverage. Everyone is free to go out and take photos as well and this is where the real queues started. There are a few spots where you can pose - there is a bridge in the middle of the lake, a waterfall which you can sit infront of and a few other spots that weren't as obvious but looked very nice on camera.

🥈 Hanging Rock, Victoria, Australia by @melbourneswest

Today I am showcasing the wonderful hanging rock, an iconic Australian location and the set for a famous book and movie that captivated the world. So much so that people thought the fictional writings of school girls being lost at hanging rock never to be found again was real. Unfortunately I'm here to burst your bubble. It is a story, made up. But a great one none the less.
