Thailand is roaring into the global spotlight once again, and this time with dinosaurs. The much-anticipated Jurassic World: The Experience officially opens today, August 8, at Asiatique Bangkok, coinciding with the international release of Jurassic World: Rebirth. Together, the immersive attraction and blockbuster film are expected to give Thailand’s tourism industry a major boost.

Shot across the country’s stunning southern provinces, including Krabi, Phang Nga, and Trang, the film showcases Thailand’s natural beauty to a global audience. From towering limestone cliffs to beautiful bays and remote beaches, these cinematic landscapes are already drawing fans who are eager to walk in the footsteps of their favorite prehistoric stars.

The Department of Tourism reports that Jurassic World: Rebirth is one of the highest-budget foreign films ever made in Thailand, with a production investment of over 400 million baht (roughly $12.2 million). With major productions like this and HBO’s The White Lotus: Season 3 choosing Thailand as a filming location, the country is quickly solidifying its place as a top destination for both moviemakers and moviegoers.

Jurassic World: The Experience

Jurassic World: The Experience in Bangkok offers visitors a fully immersive adventure into the world of the film. Lasting about 60 to 90 minutes, the attraction features set recreations, interactive exhibits, and a dynamic journey that brings the Jurassic World universe to life.

Alongside the attraction, guests can dine at Fossil & Flame, the first-ever Jurassic World-themed restaurant outside of a theme park. Here, you’ll enjoy immersive dining and themed menus inspired by the blockbuster franchise.

Tickets start at THB 579, which is approximately $18 USD, and can be purchased online and on-site.

This Yosemite campground is finally open after a 3-year, $11M renovation

Yosemite National Park, California

Tuolumne Meadows Campground, originally constructed in the 1930s, has been a staple for Yosemite visitors, accommodating up to 2,200 guests nightly and serving over 141,000 overnight stays annually. However, the campground closed in 2022 to undergo a huge rehabilitation project funded by the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA). This closure was necessary to address more than $11 million in overdue repairs to Yosemite, including Tuolumne, since most of this campground's infrastructure dates back to the Civilian Conservation Corps era or Mission 66, and it wasn't designed for today's surge in visitation.

The campground was completely off-limits to the public due to extended construction on key areas, including updating utilities and repairing environmental degradation along the Tuolumne River. But finally, it is open and ready for the 2025 season. Here's what you can expect:

Sleep is the new status symbol—and luxury travelers are taking note

The wellness trend that's redefining vacations

Like many travelers, I’ve spent vacations racing from one attraction to the next, determined to pack every moment with sightseeing, shopping, and late-night dinners. My step count soars, my camera roll overflows, and by the time I return home, I’m somehow more exhausted than when I left. Sound familiar?

While those jam-packed trips have their place, there’s a new kind of vacation gaining serious buzz, and it’s all about doing… well, less. Welcome to the world of sleep tourism, a travel trend where getting better sleep isn’t just a perk, it’s the entire point of the trip. Instead of returning home in need of another vacation, sleep tourism invites you to actually rest, recharge, and return feeling like the best version of yourself.
