The White Temple (or Wat Rong Khun) in Chiang Rai looks very impressive. It is one of the new temples in Thailand which are still not finished. It reminds me of fairy tales because it looks like its made out of snow and ice. You should definitely visit it yourself!
When you see the outside of the temple you do not really know what will be inside. At first i was guessing it is just a normal temple, like the others I already saw. But the inside really surprised me. I am sure people will react different about what they can discover inside. Ok – but what can you see now?
When you enter the temple, the main wall is decorated with Buddhist symbols. But the opposite wall shows angry bird, Spiderman, characters from Star Wars, Micheal Jackson, Harry Potter and other well known figures and real persons below a huge image of the evil. My first reaction was like “Is this a joke?” and i was confused because i did not understand what this should tell us. So me and my friend talked to a Thai who explained that the wall requests the people to clean themselves from bad intentions and wrong ideas. They should not believe in superheros and everything else what is not real. Even seducing people like Micheal Jackson with his music are not a good influence.
Sadly it is forbitten to take fotos inside. But in google you can still find some pictures to get an impression about how this wall looks like.
