The Architectural Wonders of Thailand’s White Temple

Wat Rong Khun, a unique temple with a majestic white exterior, stands out for its untraditional design and symbolism. The temple features ghoulish traffic cones, ghostly heads, and arms reaching up to greet visitors. Its white color symbolizes purity, while glass mosaics and mirrors represent enlightenment and Buddha's wisdom. A contrasting gold building symbolizes materialism. Despite initial criticism for its departure from traditional Thai art, Wat Rong Khun is now seen as a modern emblem of Thai culture.
