- Monkeys have their own special feast day in the town of Lopburi in Thailand – complete with personal invites, mountains of fresh fruit and huge bowls of ice-cream. Just watch out for the food fight at the end!
- The Son Doong cave in Vietnam is so big you could fit a plane inside it. Although we’ve never actually seen anyone trying to do it!
- China’s 8th century Leshan Giant Buddha has eyebrows that are more than 5 metres long. Wow!
- Vietnam exports are more than a third of the world’s cashew nuts. Thank you, Vietnam.
- If you love a cliff-top view but don’t fancy the climb, head for Bailong in China. You can travel 300 metres up the cliff in an elevator!
- Vietnam’s kitchen deity Ong Tao is in fact not one god but three – two male and one female. We knew there was a reason Vietnamese food is so scrummy.
- There are more millionaires in Tokyo than in Paris, San Francisco or Los Angeles. Impressive.
- Thailand is the only country in South East Asia that has not been colonised by Europeans. And they are super proud of that fact!
