Thank God for the beautiful sunny day at the White Temple in Chiang Lai, Thailand. It rained heavily all night last night. When I drove back to Chiang Mai in the morning, I didn't expect that people would rush to Chiang Mai at 10 o'clock. This white temple often appears in the circle of friends, but it is the first time that I have seen such a beautiful blue sky as a background. Although the White Temple built in 1997 is not a long history, it is made of white paint and glass sequins, shining in the sun with a unique light. At first, Mr. Xu Longcai, the architect and owner, was open to visitors for free. Later, because of the severe damage caused by the earthquake in 2015 and the cost of maintenance, he now needs to charge 50 baht per person ticket. But it's worth it. There is a bridge in front of the main hall. The introduction is Naihe Bridge. Many hell hands are stretched out below. It is terrible. So the White Temple is a saying that it looks like heaven, but it is hell.

    4/5Excellent

    The temple lived up to its picturesque portrayal, though I recommend timing your visit to avoid the crowds. The site was overwhelmingly packed, detracting from its potential tranquility and giving it a heavily touristic feel. Fortunately, my photography skills—and evidently those of others sharing their experiences online—managed to capture its essence, presenting a serene facade that contrasted sharply with the bustling atmosphere I encountered.

    4/5Excellent

    Touristy but nice, can roaming around and take picture for free. Only pay if we want to go inside the temple. Easy to reach every hour (morning-afternoon) by public bus from Chiang rai bus terminal.

    A beautiful temple. Most of the temples in Thai come with golden color but this one is really white and when you take a closer look it was so detailed. once it catches the sunlight it becomes more beautiful and shiny

    Chiang Rai's White Temple, Wat Rong Khun, stands as an architectural marvel amidst serene landscapes. Nestled in northern Thailand, this ethereal structure captivates with its gleaming white facade and intricate design. Reflecting in a nearby pond, the temple creates a tranquil ambiance. Surrounded by lush greenery and against the backdrop of the Thai sky, the White Temple embodies both cultural richness and natural beauty, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a serene escape in a breathtaking setting.
