TIPS+COOL SITE Tuesdays: U Need UNESCO

Ban Chiang - from Tourism Authority of Thailand
The folks who try to keep tabs on the heritage of planet earth, regardless of borders, offer a really cool interactive map to the nearly 1,000 sites designated as World Heritage Sites by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Some are near transportation, like the Generalife in Granada Spain. Others are more isolated and might require multiple buses, and long walks to access, such as the Ban Chiang Archaeological Site in Thailand.
