Beautiful temple photos.
I find that overly touristy type places tend to be boring as well. They often feel cheap, which is kind of strange and contradictory since everything is typically way over priced lol. Local spots are often way more enjoyable to experience.

Yeah. I'm not the type where everything has to be authentic, but there's something about many tourist spots that just feels staged and fake. I'd rather watch locals hanging out in front of the 7-11.

Yes, some places are worse than others for that. I haven't felt that in Europe so much but its like that, at least to me, at a lot of places in the Caribbean. They look and feel like an extension of America and everything seems way more expensive then it should be.
