#TOTD The shining white temple has subverted the impression of the world on Thai temples. White Temple is another name for the Lingguang Temple in Chiang Rai. It was designed by the famous Thai architect, painter and artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. It has spent more than 20 years of savings. It has been built since 1997 and is still expanding and still expanding. Perfect, it is expected to build a long time - 70 years! The main hall of the White Temple and the Trevi Fountain, the Wishing Pavilion and other buildings are integrated with the designer's deep love for Buddhist culture and unique artistic thinking. The main body of the white temple is pure white enamel-free wall, silver mirror and glass rim. Under the sun, the exquisite beauty can not help but be amazed. Before entering the White Temple Hall, you have to walk through a "near bridge". On both sides of the bridge is "Hell" - full of face twisted gimmicks, blue ribs exposed hands and struggles, as if the real "Hell Soul" is displayed. The statues on both sides of the bridge of "Naihe Bridge" glared at the "Hell Soul" and defended the tranquility of the side of the "Naihe Bridge". The designer hopes that the visitors will not look back when they walk through the bridge, and forget the ominous, unwilling, unhappy things, and they will go to "heaven". Into the hall to take off your shoes, and not allowed to take pictures, so forget the circle of friends, with the eyes to the designer's hand-painted giant Buddha murals, beautiful and magnificent hall imprinted in my mind. White Temple reflection water is more sacred and inviolable, but it is tender and watery, close to the heart. Visiting the White Temple is like experiencing a dream of silent dialogue with the Buddha, and it is like enjoying an empty mind that is empty.

Three must-visit temples in Chiang Rai, Thailand that will scare you with giant creatures During our one-month trip in Thailand The most stunning thing for me is still the temples in Thailand. Today, what I'm sharing with you is Three must-visit temples in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Each one makes my megalophobia jump out . 1. Wat Huai Pla Kung Temple It has the largest and most popular Guanyin statue in the world, which is about 25 stories high!! On both sides of the stairs leading to the Guanyin statue, there are several lifelike white dragons entwined together, looking very powerful!! Location: Search for Huibakang Temple directly. Ticket: Free Opening hours: 7:00-8:00 . 2. Blue Temple Wat Rong Suea Ten This is a very famous temple in Chiang Rai, northern Thailand. The temple is not as big as others, but the entire building is painted with a highly saturated blue, with gold as a complement. At the entrance of the main hall, there are two giant dragons with their mouths open, which is quite scary to look at! Location: Search for Chiang Rai Blue Temple directly. Ticket: Free Opening hours: 6:00-20:00 . 3. Wat Rong Khun White Temple Baimiao, also known as Lingguang Temple or Bailong Temple, is a temple that is entirely white, looking pure and holy from afar!! In front of the main hall of the temple, there is a Naihe Bridge where pairs of hands are waving, which looks super shocking and makes me super scared!! When crossing this bridge, never turn back!! Location: Wat Rong Khun Ticket: Free Opening hours: 8:00-17:00
