Question is, should you visit somewhere when it's not too busy, or when it is because something's happening?

Nice to have the choice, either way.

Have this one for free: I recall visiting Wat Po one evening an hour before closing around sunset. Not only was it unbelievably peaceful and quiet, the guards let us in for free.

Love the idea of Google Trips, but it misses the point and beauty of travelling serendipity ... which is arguably the most valuable part of travel. To freely explore and discover. (Edit: accepted, those on a very tight schedule would appreciate this.)

Otherwise travel is just a to-do list. Like work. Or an alt-pokemon-go experience. Maybe I'm being unfair.
