I was tempted to say that I've never seen anything like Hang Nga's Crazy House, until I remembered my trip to Barcelona, Spain. A city riddled with dark, fairy tale-like structures designed by famed architect Antoni Gaudi, I must admit that Nga's creation might be more impressive for one reason only: it's made out of a tree.
Crazy House is really more of a gallery than a guest house. Take a look at the images above and I'm sure you'll agree. Featuring themed rooms, the Crazy House is located in Dalat, Vietnam. I know where I'm staying when I decide to travel there.
