Mingle with the locals as they shop at a bustling morning market in the Silom district of Bangkok before heading to a nearby Hindu temple that welcomes devotees of other religions. The market offers a genuine window into daily life, as the vendors tend to carry useful products rather than souvenirs. While wandering about the many stalls, be sure to sample some of the foods characteristic of Bangkok. The offerings are usually eclectic and could range from grilled river fish to papaya salad to sticky rice desserts. For an authentic glimpse into the spiritual side of Bangkok, you will visit Sri Maha Uma Devi, a temple that Indian immigrants founded in the 19th century during the reign of King Rama IV.

Within the palace compound, you will find the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which holds a 14th-century statue of Buddha that was carved from a single piece of emerald-green jasper. The king of Thailand changes the Buddha’s robes each season in an elaborate ritual, during which he also sprinkles water over the monks to bring good fortune. Be sure to notice the murals on the temple walls that depict the life of Buddha and steps to enlightenment.

Behold one of the most spectacular private art collections in Asia at the Prasart Museum, which is open by appointment only. Real estate tycoon Prasart Vongsakul created the museum to hold Thai artwork that he spent his life collecting because so much of it was leaving the country. These national treasures are displayed in a collection of classic Thai buildings. Vongsakul personally constructed much of the complex using long-forgotten building techniques. The exhibits display art ranging from prehistoric times to the late-19th century that includes exquisite porcelain and pottery and traditional Thai paintings and furnishings. While meandering about the surrounding gardens, you can expect to see dozens of Buddha statues, shrines and a teak pavilion on stilts above a lotus pond.

Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain between the Himalayas and New Guinea, dominates the expansive and extraordinarily lush park. In consideration of the remarkable range of habitats and diversity of pan-tropical flora, UNESCO declared Kinabalu Park a World Heritage site, the very first in Malaysia.

Enjoy a panoramic drive in air-conditioned comfort through Kota Kinabalu, the culturally diverse capital of the Sabah state. As you travel through the city, known affectionately as KK, you will pass a variety of attractions, giving you a broad understanding of life here. Along the way, you will pause for photos at the waterfront city mosque and at the glass-and-steel Tun Mustapha high rise. Like most of the buildings in Kota Kinabalu, they were constructed post-World War II, as the Allies razed the city during the war to prevent the Japanese from using it as a base. Islam is the main religion, but Buddhism is also practiced in temples such as Pu Tuo Si, which features traditional Chinese architecture. The Sabah state is also known for its natural beauty, which you will see while stopping for a drink at Tanjung Aru Beach, a lovely stretch of sand named for the casuarinas or aru trees that shade it.

Experience authentic tribal life in a jungle village where the residents still embrace the ancient customs and traditions of their ancestors. While driving out of Kota Kinabalu, you will pause for photos at two contemporary buildings: the 30-story Tun Mustapha high rise and the majestic city mosque.
