White Temple

Wat Rong Khun, commonly known as the White Temple, is an unconventional and contemporary Buddhist temple in Pa O Don Chai, Thailand, created by artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. Its striking white exterior represents purity, adorned with intricate mirror mosaics that reflect light vividly. Photo-travelers will appreciate the surreal blend of traditional Buddhist imagery with modern symbolisms like pop culture icons. Inside, the murals illustrate scenes from popular culture and global events, fostering a unique narrative on morality and philosophy. The temple's bridge signifies the cycle of rebirth, with a surrounding art gallery displaying the artist’s works, providing additional photo opportunities. Aim for early morning or late afternoon visits to catch the best lighting and fewer crowds.
