The Chinatown in Bangkok is the largest in the world, home to over a million people of Chinese origin, usually second or third generation. Known locally as Yaowarat, the crisscrossing alleyways and bylanes transform into a buzzing street food hub at night and a thrift shopping center during the daytime. At the end of Yaowarat Road, near Hua Lamphong railway station, is the Temple of Wat Traimit which houses the largest gold Buddha in the world. The statue is officially titled Phra Phuttha Maha Suwana Patimakon and weighs a staggering five-and-a-half ton.

The World Happiness Report, which strives to "redefine the growth narrative to put people's well-being at the heart of government initiatives," ranks Finland first among 156 nations, followed by Norway, Denmark, and Iceland. According to the report, Madagascar is the 14th unhappiest country in the world. It's hardly surprising that it's one of the poorest countries in the world, with a per capita GDP of $1,554 (ranking 179th out of 187 nations) and an average life expectancy of only 65.5 (in the UK, it's 81.2).

At the point when you take torment-easing drugs multiple times each week, you might start to create a "bounce back," or medicine abuse, migraine. Each time you swallow a pill, you'll encounter a more limited time of help. At last, you're left with an ongoing headache that requires a long time to wear off whenever you've quit taking drugs.

The renowned whirling photo of Neo's gravity-defying backbend was created using 120 separate digital still cameras and two film cameras. Frame by frame, the static photos were blended together to produce the scene. The first Bullet Time test shot provided an almost 360-degree image of an exploding garbage can.

In The Last Jedi, Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) defies General Leia Organa's (Carrie Fisher) commands, but not without consequences. In an interview with Stephen Colbert, Isaac stated that the moment in which Leia demotes Poe was tough to get right, resulting in the late actress smacking the younger star more than 40 times. What a privilege.

Have you ever noticed how the Disney princesses never look at each other in promotional photos and marketing materials? There's a good reason for this. "To preserve what [Andy] Mooney referred to as their individual'mythologies,' the princesses never make eye contact when they're grouped," the New York Times reported in 2006. "Each looks off in a slightly different direction, as if unaware of the presence of the others." However, with the release of Wreck-It Ralph 2, which depicts all of the princesses hanging out together, this may change.

The historic Chateau Frontenac Hotel. Fairmont Hotels presently manages it. I knew I had to stay at this hotel the moment I saw photographs of it. It was incredibly lovely on the inside and exterior. I can see why it's the world's most photographed hotel! If possible, plan to remain there.

This is one of the more unusual facts about Myanmar that you’ll notice quite often when you're visiting and traveling in the country. People, especially women, tend to carry things on their heads rather than using their hands. Foreigners are shocked at first and automatically think back to the travel shows on Africa. But, carrying things on the head is quite popular and is a more convenient method of transport. You can expect to see vendors carrying food on a large metal plate or even a basket full of the weekly shopping on their heads.

Moses, according to the Bible, drew water from a stone in Wadi Musa, also known as the Valley of Moses. The water supply for Petra came from this location, which, according to Biblical legend, continued to gush water after Moses' miraculous act. Even though the architects of Petra were not Christians, the ancient city's proximity to Wadi Musa makes it an appealing pilgrimage destination for Christians.

The other 97.7% are ethnically Chinese. This is because Taiwan was ruled by the Qing Dynasty for 200 years from 1683 to 1895. During this time, the locals were pushed out in the same way native Americans, Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders were by Europeans. This isn’t an upbeat Taiwan fact but it’s important to know.

Nowadays, there are just 500,000 indigenous people made up of eight different tribal groups. Sadly, their 26 native languages have become almost extinct. Unemployment rates are high and education levels low. However, since the 80s there has been a bit of a revival and several cities host indigenous cultural events. Will it be enough?

Benefits-The practise of Chhath puja increases energy, gives mental peace (by purifying the body and mind), boosts immunity, and lowers the frequency of wrath, jealousy, and bad emotions. Chhath puja rites are also said to help slow down the ageing process.

The Royal Spanish Football Federation grew preoccupied with inviting Lionel Messi to join the Spanish Football Team a few years after he arrived in Barcelona. But Messi had a different plan; he wanted to follow in the footsteps of former Argentina great Diego Maradona and play for his country, so he turned down the opportunity. When the Argentine Football Association learnt of the situation, they planned two under-20 friendly despite knowing nothing about young Messi (actually, they did not know who that Messi guy was).

Several studios rejected A New Hope (Episode IV), which was released as Star Wars before 20th Century Fox consented to create it. Despite being intrigued by Lucas' ideas, United Artists rejected him. Universal, on the other hand, had little trust in Lucas to carry out an idea with such economic potential. Disney's refusal was the most ironic, prompting Lucas to turn to Fox. In 2012, however, Disney paid $4 billion for the property.

Not surprisingly, the city of Alexandria was named after the conqueror of Egypt in 331 BC. One of the ancient wonders of the World, the Lighthouse of Alexandria was here.

Throughout his run as British Secret Service agent James Bond, actor Sean Connery wore a toupe. Despite being just 31 years of age, the Scottish legend was balding. Not wanting the suave and sophisticated Bond to have a bald patch, Connery was given a toupe to wear. To be fair, it actually looks pretty good considering the time the films were made. Plus, the Bond franchise probably wouldn’t have been as successful if sex symbol Connery didn’t have a full head of hair. 

Long-term lung function reduction can result from exposure to air pollution throughout childhood. Fetuses' growth has also been proven to be impacted by dirty air. The majority of the UK's regions exceed the EU's air pollution regulations. However, according to the government's present plans, it won't be safe to breathe until at least 2020, and 2025 in London.

The Sun appears to have existed in perpetuity, unchanged, but this is not the case. The Sun is gradually heating up. Every billion years, it becomes 10% more luminous. In fact, within a billion years, the Sun's heat will be so intense that liquid water will no longer exist on Earth's surface. Life on Earth as we know it will cease to exist. Bacteria may still exist underground, but the planet's surface will be scorched and uninhabitable. It will take another 7 billion years for the Sun to reach its red giant phase, at which point it will engulf the Earth and destroy it entirely.

The Tijuca jungle expands from Rio's centre and is considered the world's largest urban forest, encompassing an area of 32 kilometres cubed. The Corcovado mountain is located within the forest and serves as the starting point for the famed Christ the Redeemer statue. It also supports hundreds of plant and mammal species, many of which are endangered and only found in the Tijuca forest ecosystem.

The family Mymaridae is more commonly referred to as fairyflies. These insects belong to the Chalcid wasp family.

While most parents do everything they can to keep their children from crying, this isn't always the case in Japan. That's because it's a 400-year-old Japanese belief that if a sumo wrestler can make your baby cry, he or she will live a long and healthy life. Parents hand over their infants to sumo wrestlers during a special ceremony, who bounce their precious tots up and down and sometimes even roar in their faces to get the tears flowing. "He's not a crying baby," Mae Shige said at a 2014 event, "but today he cried a lot for us and we are very happy about it."

Unfortunately, no. The Gala is invitation only and usually consists of about 500-600 guests. Even with an invitation, tickets reportedly cost around $35,000, and a table for 10 around $250,000 dollars. However, after opening night you can visit the exhibition while it’s there.
