For those who haven’t watched the Stranger Things series — there are a lot of things going on in the show, but it’s mostly about a girl with supernatural powers. She enhances them by floating in a sensory deprivation tank.

To experience this in real life you can try a sensory deprivation tank at the Bangkok Float Center. You just chill in a 10-inch high bath with salt water for an hour. All in complete darkness. This is supposed to relieve stress and boost your health.

#22 The Museum of Counterfeit Goods

Sometimes it’s hard to tell which products are real and which are fake. In this museum, visitors can find a replica of literally almost any brand: from exact copies to real jokes. Some of them have letters replaced and some of them have different variations of styles and colors that make them look ridiculous.

The main idea of the museum is to raise awareness of how harmful the counterfeit business is. Sadly, Thailand is well-known for producing counterfeit goods and most producers use child labor and toxic chemicals in the production of these goods.

#23 Shopping experience at the Floating Market in Thailand.

If you love shopping and trying local fruits and vegetables, then this place is for you. Visit another unusual market in Thailand — the floating market. You can find basically any tasty food you need there, but they’re all sold on small boats around a river.

The market starts in the early morning, and once you get there you can get a boat for yourself with a driver. Sellers who are trying to attract business and the many curious visitors create a buzz that adds its own charm to the market.

#24 There are about 22 types of bananas that grow in Thailand

You can find 300 different types of bananas that grow around the world, and 22 of them grow in Thailand. Some of these types took many years of selective breeding to make them look like they do today. Also, there are sweet and savory types of bananas, that come in smaller and bigger sizes.

Thai people not only eat bananas, but they boil their flowers in coconut milk, wrap products in banana leaves, and make banana stalk fiber to make buckets, hats, and other goods.

#25 Even the tiniest things in Thailand are wrapped in plastic.

No matter how long you stay in Thailand, there is one thing that you will notice right away — people there are literally obsessed with plastic bags. They come in all sizes and shapes. Any food you buy, big or small, has to be placed in a plastic bag — street food and even drinks are all served this way.
