📍 From Gardens, Thailand
Wat Rong Khun, more widely known as the White Temple, is an unconventional, contemporary Buddhist temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Its immaculate structure, adorned with pieces of mirror that glitter in the sunlight, creates a stunning visual effect that is incredibly photogenic. Designed by Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, the temple integrates traditional Buddhist symbolism with surreal, modern designs. One of the most captivating features for photography is the bridge of "the cycle of rebirth," leading to the main building through an array of sculpted hands reaching up from the ground, symbolizing desire. The white color represents the Buddha’s purity, while the reflective mirrors symbolize wisdom shining throughout the Universe. Capture shots during early morning or late afternoon when the light accentuates its ethereal beauty. Additionally, don't miss the golden building, a stark contrast to the white temple, representing materialism and the mundane. Note: Photography is not allowed inside the main building, focusing your lens on the intricate exterior and surrounding art installations is equally rewarding.
