Kawa Hot Baths are tourist attractions found in the Philippines, where you, as the name implies, bathe in a kawa. And yes, that’s while the kawa sits on fire. How hot is hot?

As an upgrade of the track in Makati, the Pampanga International Circuit is said to be longer and more exciting. It also features five very exciting layouts, with the longest one stretching to 1.4 kilometers. The Pampanga International Circuit blasted their opening last weekend with back-to-back events starting with the Rotax Philippines 2019 Invitational followed by the 12-Hour Sodi W Series Endurance Race–two of the biggest karting championships in the world.
