Now is the time to visit this extraordinary land of golden spires, majestic temples and barely-touched beaches. Expect to see wandering monks (who are the A-list celebrities here), water buffaloes grazing in beautiful scenic landscapes and a local population that still dresses traditionally, yet to be exposed to western ways.
