Wat Sampran, located in Thailand's Sampran district, is a unique pink temple dedicated to Buddhism. Standing 260 feet tall, it symbolizes Buddha's age at death. Known for its giant dragon, the temple's meaning is mysterious. Bhavano Buddha, inspired by a fasting meditation, designed the temple, which was built in five years. Visitors can explore the 17-story structure, touch the dragon's beard, or enter its belly. It's a must-visit for those seeking a one-of-a-kind experience.
