I spent a month in traveling around Thailand earlier this year & put together a compilation of all the best shots.
The places in the video included:
Phuket (Big Buddha Statue), Phi Phi Island, Pai & Mae Hong Son (counrtyside), Chiang Rai (counrtyside) & the Choui Fong Tea Plantation. Also included time lapses from Bangkok.

We spent just over two weeks in Sri Lanka, staying in six different parts of the island.

Crops from the genus Brassica, including Rapeseed, were among the earliest plants to be widely cultivated by mankind as early as 10,000 years ago.
Today Rapeseed is used for production of animal feed, edible vegetable oils, and biodiesel.
