For decades, Filipinos have impressed the world, or, the universe rather with two things: our exceptional beauty and our kind hearts.

Feel like a Miss Universe contestant as we present to you the places the Miss Universe contestants visited in Thailand that you should definitely add to your itinerary.

2. Sanctuary of Truth, Pattaya
Situated upon the edge of a waterfront, the Sanctuary of Truth is an architectural feat as it is a 344-feet intricately designed temple made entirely of wood. Built only in 1982, one can easily mistake it as a heritage structure. The awe-factor it induces upon its visitors definitely makes it worth the visit.

6. Wat Arun, Bangkok
(The story was published on December 17.)
What’s a trip to Thailand without visiting its temples? Capping off your trip, we go back to the capital and visit one of the country’s most stunning temples. With a name that translates to “Temple of the Dawn,” Wat Arun’s name is derived from the Hindu god Aruna, often personified as the heat of the sun. The temple will make you feel at peace as it is situated riverside and will give you a beautiful view especially at night. The temple also boasts its beautiful contrasts between white and the bold colors of its sprites.
