Our winners today 🍍

🥇 History you can touch: A day in Ayutthaya, Thailand with local guides and friends by @louis88

Our trip to Wat Mahathat in Ayutthaya, about an hour's drive from Bangkok, was a highlight of my vacation. Wat Mahathat, a Buddhist temple compound built in the 14th century, is famous for its breathtaking sight of the Buddha head mysteriously embedded in the roots of a tree. This image, which is almost symbolic of the fusion of nature and spirituality in Thailand, was just one of the many fascinating motifs we were able to capture that day.

🥈 Terme di Caracalla (Baths of Caracalla) in Rome, Italy by @triplug

At first glance I am extremely amazed at how the old buildings that were part of the Baths of Caracalla have been preserved. For those who want to come here by car know that there is a huge parking place, probably during the summer or holidays here come a lot of tourists with coaches, we visited this place at the end of January and we did not meet so many tourists.

🥉 Kon Vong Kia - A hidden village of Mo Nam ethnic minority by @dodovietnam

Hi dear Hivers, today I would like to take you to a hidden village which is located about 5km from Mang Den town, Kon Plong district, Kon Tum province. Kon Vong Kia is home to the Mo Nam ethnic minority, an ethnic group distributed mainly in the Kon Tum region and the Northern Central Highlands ò Vietnam. They live mainly on agriculture and tend to live separate from the outside world. So they often reside in small villages, located far from crowded areas. And Kong Vong Kia is not an exception.
