The journey to "Jurassic World: The Experience" at Asiatique includes:• Origins Of Wonder: Step into the grand Welcome Centre, where the wonders of Isla Nublar come to life in stunning high definition. • Arrival At Isla Nublar: Anticipation builds as you arrive in Isla Nublar. The iconic Jurassic World gates stand tall ahead, waiting to welcome you into a world where prehistoric giants roam once more. • A Close Encounter With Giants: High above the treetops, a breathtaking moment unfolds as you come face-to-face with a towering Brachiosaurus. Its massive frame moves effortlessly through the mist, and down below, another prehistoric resident makes its presence known — just in time for feeding. • The Petting Zoo: This is your chance to get up close with the park's youngest residents. From small, curious juveniles testing their strength to playful creatures still discovering their world, every interaction brings you deeper into the magic of Jurassic World. • The Predator Pavilion: The air thickens with tension as you step into the Predator Pavilion — home to Jurassic World's most formidable carnivores. You've seen Velociraptors on screens, but nothing prepares you for the real thing. • The Observation Deck: A high-tech platform descends into the dense jungle, where the ultimate predator awaits— the Indominus rex. She's on the move, and something has gone horribly wrong. Escape is the only option. • A Fight For Survival: Alarms wail as you navigate the dimly lit maintenance corridors. A deep, guttural growl reverberates through the hallways, sending chills down your spine. Then crash! A Carnotaurus bursts into view. There's no time to think — only time to run! • Lost In The Jungle: Plunged into the heart of the untamed wilderness, you stumble upon remnants of the past — rusted Jurassic Park signs, an overgrown Jeep, and eerie silence. The jungle is watching. A Dilophosaurus steps forward, its vibrant frills unfurling like a cobra's hood. • Caged Up: The towering aviary looms ahead. Mist swirls as massive shadows glide overhead. A sudden screech — then, a Pteranodon slams into the enclosure wall, its beak snapping inches from the barrier, while a curious Stygimoloch, blinks at the guests, sniffing the air before letting out a short, sharp snort. • The Final Escape: The safety of the research lab offers a momentary relief, but it doesn't last. The thundering footsteps of the T. rex are closing in. The queen of dinosaurs lets out a mighty roar as the door slams shut just in time. • Refuge – At Last: Against all odds, you have walked among prehistoric titans, stared into the eyes of living legends, and survived. You have just experienced something truly unforgettable — that was 65 million years in the making. Seek solace and souvenirs in the "Jurassic World: The Experience Retail Store". The immersive, bunker-themed retail experience offers a secure refuge where guests can browse exclusive Jurassic World merchandise and marvel at prehistoric wonders like a fossilised T. rex skull. It's the final stop on your Jurassic journey where the adventure concludes and the legacy lives on. "The Jurassic World: The Experience Hatch Dome" is an immersive space featuring the store and 'Better World, Better Future', a 4D sustainability attraction. This one-of-a-kind journey takes visitors from the extinction of dinosaurs to a future Earth shaped by human choices, sparking awareness and action toward a more sustainable world. Launching alongside the attraction is the first-ever Jurassic World restaurant called "Jurassic World: Fossil & Flame", outside of the theme park, where cinematic storytelling meets immersive dining. Guests will enjoy themed menus and environments inspired by the Jurassic World franchise, creating a unique experience that blends flavours, film and fantasy.

The must-do highlights of Bangkok in three days
Bangkok defies metaphor. An enigma wrapped in a traffic jam? The place where feudalism meets futurism? Just step out and surrender to its din and aromas, the combo of urgency and 'mai pen rai' (no worries) solutions. This city of 11.5 million people on the Chao Phraya River doesn't have a clearly defined centre and its hotel accommodation is scattered wide. Which means, depending on your location, think of the following day itineraries as adaptable, mix-and-match suggestions. Hint: cross-city travel can be slow (and hot) so don't over-plan your day. Day one Make an early start for the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) in the Grand Palace complex, preferably arriving by 8.30am to beat the crowd. It'll be busy anyhow. Spend a couple of hours in this ornate royal compound but don't attempt to photograph the tiny Emerald Buddha statue. Make time for the adjacent temple, Wat Pho, home to one of the city's great icons, the 46-metre Reclining Buddha. Catch a meter taxi to nearby Yaowarat Road, Chinatown, for lunch. (Tuk-tuks in this area are a rip-off.) The grazing choice is enormous, from hawker carts to side-alley restaurants. Try a local favourite, guay chap flat rice noodles in pepper soup, but skip the common 'delicacy', shark-fin soup. Afternoon You're in one of the world's largest Chinatowns, where the main attractions include Wat Traimit, home to a massive 5½-tonne golden Buddha statue, and to Bangkok's most important Chinese Buddhist shrine, Wat Mangkon Kamalawat (Dragon Lotus Temple). Then make your way to Sathorn Pier near Saphan Taksin BTS Skytrain station to join the Chao Phraya Tourist Boat. An all-day pass will allow you to hop on and off wherever you please at the ferry's 10 stops, including Wat Arun (Temple of the Dawn), Khao San Road and attractions like the Asiatique theme park. Evening Bangkok has around 40 high-rise sky bars, most of them brilliant for sunset cocktails with spectacular views, plus dinner if you kick on. Not far from wherever you are there's probably a sky bar with an intriguing name like Paradise Lost, Cooling Tower, Vertigo or Flashback. If you're looking for sophisticated dining at a lower altitude, consider Red Rose in the Shanghai Mansion hotel on Yaowarat Road, or a choice of excellent French, Italian or Cantonese options in the Four Seasons Bangkok Hotel at Chao Phraya River. Or, further inland, the celebrated restaurant in Soi 53 Sukhumvit at Thong Lor.

Thailand puts Loy Krathong up for UNESCO status
Thailand's next cultural moonshot is pushing for the inclusion of the Thai full moon festival, Loy Krathong, on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list. With the Thai Cabinet giving the green light this March, official approval from UNESCO is expected to take three to five years. Loy Krathong lands every November with a full moon. People release lotus-shaped banana leaf baskets called krathong, adorned with candles, incense and flowers, before being set afloat in rivers, lakes and canals. But today, krathongs are getting wilder and more varied. Though the vessel is now a personal canvas, the essence of the festival remains sacred. The act honours Buddha and the water goddess Phra Mae Thorani, as well as its core Buddhist message: letting go and starting anew. As the water flows, so do your wishes, carried downstream to new beginnings. Bangkokians usually hit up Asiatique for the full-on firework glow-up or head to Wat Arun and Lumpini Park for something more low-key. Lately though, greener ways to celebrate have popped up. Last year, Chulalongkorn University teamed up with Siam Square for an eco-minded event featuring a 30-metre LED pool mimicking floating krathongs, plus games, food stalls and live acts. This isn't Thailand's first UNESCO rodeo. The country has already secured heritage status for Songkran, traditional Thai massage and the Khon dance drama, among other homegrown cultural delights.
