Both Japan and Thailand provide breathtaking scenery and diverse cultural experiences, each with its own charms. Kyoto, the historic capital of Japan, captivates tourists with its tranquil gardens, traditional tea houses, and ancient temples. Bangkok, Thailand's busy city, on the other hand, stuns with its colourful street life, elaborate temples, and lively markets. The largest island in Thailand, Phuket, offers a tropical paradise with immaculate beaches, crystal-clear waters, and opulent resorts. When combined, these locations highlight East and Southeast Asia's varied landscapes and cultural diversity.
