Hi {{ first name | there }},

Some places in the world feel so otherworldly, you might forget you're still on Earth. Thailand’s Klong Root Canal, the setting for this summer’s blockbuster Jurassic World: Rebirth, looks like something from another planet. Limestone karst formations rise above tree-lined waterways, where roots and vines dip into crystal-clear aqua water.

While the latest Jurassic installment is set on the fictional island of Île Saint-Hubert, the real-world filming took place across some of southern Thailand’s most spectacular natural landscapes.

Take a look at the very real places where CGI dinosaurs roamed.
