21 in Thailand
No matter the country, there's always room for shots when you turn 21...

Bug Buffet
At the market by my house you can get fruit, veggies, clothes, meat, and of course, the ever prestent bug table. Tastes like chicken though.

Big Buddha
There is a massive Buddha under construction on the big mountian. You can see it from anywhere on the island.
