I'll tell you how to get to one of the strangest, most surreal, and most fascinating temples you'll find in the entire country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there's one thing you're going to see on a trip to Thailand, it's temples\u2026 lots of temples. There are enormous ones and tiny ones, colorful ones and austere ones, ancient ones and ultramodern ones, with giant Buddhas or small ones. All kinds. And it's very likely that, after visiting several, they'll start to feel quite similar to each other; the element of surprise will fade, and each temple will begin to blend into the last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">But when you travel north, more precisely to the province of Chiang Rai, the <strong>great exception<\/strong> appears: the White Temple, or rather, Wat Rong Khun. A place so different, so unexpected, and so artistic that it breaks with everything you've seen and reawakens that traveler's \"wow\" you thought was lost.<\/p>\n\n\n<div

I couldn&#039;t reach it (it seems that I wasn&#039;t ready yet o_O), but other enlightened people have told me that in the <strong>interior of the temple<\/strong>, there are walls painted with quite strange images, such as Neo from Matrix, Harry Potter and Terminator\u2026what the fuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#039;s clearly not just another Buddhist temple. It has a disruptive design, completely atypical for these places.

In front of the bridge are hundreds of <strong>hands that symbolize unbridled desire<\/strong>. The bridge proclaims that the path to happiness is through temptation, greed, and desire. Beside the lake stand two very elegant Kinnaree, half-human, half-bird creatures from Buddhist mythology.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Gate of Heaven<\/strong>: After crossing the bridge, the visitor arrives at the \u201cGate of Heaven,\u201d guarded by two creatures representing death and Rahu, who decides the fate of the dead. In front of the Ubosot are several meditative images of Buddha.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Ubosot<\/strong>: The main building, the Ubosot is an entirely white building with fragments of mirrored glass embedded in its exterior. The Ubosot incorporates design elements of classical Thai architecture, such as the three-tiered roof and the abundant use of Naga snakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">\u201c<strong>Inside the temple<\/strong>, the decor shifts rapidly from pristine white to fiery and unsettling. Murals depict swirling orange flames and demonic faces, interspersed with Western icons like Michael Jackson, Neo from The Matrix, Freddy Krueger, and a T-800 Terminator. Images of nuclear war, terrorist attacks, such as the attack on the World Trade Center, and oil spills underscore the destructive impact humans have had on Earth. The presence of Harry Potter, Superman, and Hello Kitty muddles the message somewhat, but overall the moral is clear: people are evil.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"http:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/templo-blanco02.jpg\" alt=\"Otros anexos al Templo\" class=\"wp-image-3593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/templo-blanco02.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/templo-blanco02-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Other annexes to the Temple<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Un_homenaje_al_rescate_de_Tham_Luang\"><\/span>A tribute to the rescue of Tham Luang<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">During your visit to the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), you will also find a reference to one of the most shocking events in recent Thai history, the <a href=\"https:\/\/happyirishwanderers.com\/thailand-cave-rescue-tham-luang\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tham Luang Cave Rescue<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, a youth soccer team and their coach were trapped for days inside a flooded cave, in an operation that captivated the entire world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rescue was an extremely complex international mission, combining expert divers, military forces and volunteers, and it ended with all the boys safe.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Rescate-en-Tham-Luang.webp\" alt=\"Rescate en Tham Luang\" class=\"wp-image-43769\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption translation-block\">Rescue in Tham Luang.

Not only for its completely unusual aesthetic, but also for the mix of symbolism, modern details, and unexpected elements that make it unique. Of everything I visited in Thailand and Southeast Asia, it's probably the most distinctive of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It's a place that completely breaks with the traditional idea of \u200b\u200ba temple. You may like it more or less, but it certainly won't leave you indifferent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought it was a worthwhile visit, especially if you're in the Chiang Rai area. You don't need to spend too much time there; even a short stop is enough to explore it and take home a unique souvenir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preguntas_frecuentes_sobre_el_Templo_Blanco_Wat_Rong_Khun\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions about the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFCual_es_el_horario_del_Templo_Blanco\"><\/span>What are the opening hours of the White Temple?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The temple is usually open every day from <strong>8:00 to 17:00<\/strong>. During peak season or holidays, there may be slight variations, so it's best to check the updated schedule before visiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFCuanto_cuesta_la_entrada\"><\/span>How much is admission?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Entry costs around <strong>100 THB per person<\/strong>. It's one of Thailand's more affordable attractions considering its popularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFCuanto_tiempo_se_necesita_para_visitarlo\"><\/span>How long does it take to visit it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Between <strong>1 and 2 hours<\/strong> is enough to tour the complex, take photos and appreciate the details of the main temple and the sculptures around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFSe_puede_entrar_al_interior_del_templo\"><\/span>Is it possible to enter the interior of the temple?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, but taking photos inside is not allowed. The interior is also very unique, full of modern murals and symbolism rarely seen in Buddhist temples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFEsta_permitido_volar_drones\"><\/span>Is it permitted to fly drones?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In general, <strong>flying drones is not permitted<\/strong> within the White Temple grounds. It's a very busy and regulated area; if you want to film, it's best to do so from public areas outside the complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFEs_necesario_cubrirse_para_ingresar\"><\/span>Is it necessary to wear a cover to enter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It's not as strict as some other temples in the country, but respectful clothing is recommended: shoulders and knees covered. However, they usually allow casual wear as long as it's not too revealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFSe_llena_de_turistas\"><\/span>Does it get crowded with tourists?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Yes, absolutely.
