The Architectural Wonders of Thailand’s White Temple

There are 33,000 traditional temples in Thailand. But with its majestic, otherworldly exterior, Wat Rong Khun is unlike any other site of worship. From the ghoulish heads that hang from surrounding trees, to the hands that reach for you as you cross the bridge to the main temple, every part of this site is unique. While Wat Rong Khun attracts thousands of tourists from around the world, it received negative attention when it first opened because critics said it wasn’t traditional Thai art. Yet the temple continues to stand defiantly as a symbol of Thai art for a modern world.

Thailand should be on everyone's bucket list. Seriously, it's the best place in the world. Crazy night life, the city is pretty much operated 24/7, amazing food and also very sanitized, breath-taking temples, shrines, beautiful blue beaches, beautiful people and the best of all, ridiculously cheap

Holy shit, this would last 5 minutes in England before being ruined and vandalised. So beautiful

interesting fact: inside the temple the walls are painted full of pop icons: minions, harry potter, pirates of the caribbean, pikachu, transformers...

I've only ever been to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. Those steps are killer but they make the temple seem even better when you make it all the way to the top. However they did add in a cable car for the people who aren't interested in the culture or traditions of walking up the mountain.
Whenever my family was visiting Chiangmai we made sure to visit the Wat. It's well worth the little bit of exercise.

this the reason why they are most visited country on the planet.
