[Wat Rong Khun, Chiang Rai, Thailand] A silvery white world where art and faith come together

The White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) in Chiang Rai, northern Thailand, is a fantastic modern Buddhist temple that attracts many travelers from all over the world. Its unique design and shining silver exterior set it apart from traditional temple architecture, creating an otherworldly space that feels like an art gallery and a sanctuary fused together.

👀Highlights✨

Breathtaking pure white...Silver temple⛩️
The moment you see Wat Rong Khun, you will be overwhelmed by its beauty. The entire building is covered with white plaster and mirror decorations, and on sunny days, it sparkles in the sunlight, evoking the image of "paradise".

On the way across the bridge to the main hall, you will find an eerie hand sculpture symbolizing hell, strongly expressing the contrast between heaven and earth, good and evil.

Fusion of Buddhism and modern pop culture🎭
This temple was designed by Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. In addition to traditional Buddhist motifs, the murals inside the main hall incorporate characters from modern culture such as Superman, The Matrix, and Dragon Ball, which is a surprising point🖌️
This shows the artist's philosophy that "Buddhism should appeal to the hearts of people living today."

A treasure trove of photogenic things📷✨
The White Temple is a work of art no matter where you look. In addition to the main hall, there are many other sights where art and faith coexist, such as a golden toilet, a giant angel statue, and a firebird statue.
We especially recommend visiting early in the morning or at dusk. The temple's soft light enhances its mystical quality.
