New graffiti appeared recently and quite Banksy just yet. Q2 1/500 f8

I can't think of any specific places or locations other than the places you have mentioned but the buildings, culture, markets and people will give you plenty of opportunities. I remember landing in Paro and as soon a I stepped off the plane the terminal building was like nothing I have seen...
