Way Rong Khun White Temple Thailand

Immediately upon entering the grounds of Chiang Rai White Temple, you will realize this contemporary, unconventional temple stands out, even in a country saturation with places of worship.Ghostly heads hang from trees in the temple gardens, trees of metal keys surround a wishing well, skulls top traffic cones and Thailand best golden toilets are available to visitors.Upon entering the temple, you will pass sword wielding demons, hungry hands reaching from the depths as you cross a bridge toward the inner sanctuary, where superheroes and cartoons cavort in traditional Buddhist murals and motifs.All these fearful statues and terrifying demons symbolize a traditional Buddhist messageconquering desire, greed and passion to rise to a state of nirvana but do it in an unforgettably, modern, unique and imaginative way.
