Wat Rong Khun – Chiang Rai, Thailand
The Buddhist temple of Wat Rong Khun is one of the most recognizable temples in Thailand. While it may look like a simple white building from afar, once you get close you can see all of the unique architectural techniques that make the structure stand out.
Like the Jain Temple in Ranakpur, the façade is covered in mesmerizingly detailed carvings. The architects also used pieces of glass embedded in white plaster to make the building sparkle and shine in the sunlight.
