8. Wat Rong Khun, Chiang Rai, Thailand
More of an artist’s imagination and an art exhibit than a holy place, Wat Rong Khun in Chiang Rai, Thailand is also known as the White Temple due to it pristine white appearance. Built with clear-mirrored chips and white wash, Wat Rong Khun is not just one-of-its-kind in architecture but in concept as well. Instead of depicting the traditional Buddha life, the main temple represents ‘Samsara’ or the world.
