🥇 Jomtien Wholesale Market in Thailand. by @tinman88

"I was told about the Jomtien Wholesale Market by my friends, which is the biggest fresh fruit and vegetable market in Jomtien city but because it is a little further out of my way, I just never seem to get there always been pressed for time, this market apparently opens at 2am every morning for restaurants and shop keepers but closes at 5pm so locals can go in and shop, it is here were you can buy the cheapest of everything in bulk.

🥈 The past and the present of ancient Baturyn (EN-UA) by @lilideleopolis

"So before us is one of the capitals of Ukraine! The city was originally part of the Polish state, but in 1648 became a Cossack. In 1669-1708 it was the capital of Ukraine. The city reached its greatest prosperity during the time of Hetman Ivan Mazepa. (Hetman was the leader of the Cossack army and at the same time the leader of the entire state, which included part of the current territory of Ukraine)."

🥉 Manila's Last Lung: We need urban forest. by @juecoree

"The park's lush vegetation provides a welcome respite from the heat and stress caused by traffic, a dense population, and clogged streets. It also entails maintaining a piece of history. Historians believe the name "Arroceros," which means "rice merchants," refers to the park's past as a meeting place for rice sellers in 16th and 17th century Manila. Aside from that, it can help boost wellness around the neighborhood."
