A Visit to Heaven- Wat Rong Khun

The Thai have a pet name for the white washed temple in Chang Rai called Wat Rong Khun, and that is “heaven.” It’s also known, simply, as the White Temple.

The low-lying clouds surrounding the Buddhist temple really played to its heavenly feel.

These seem to be the folks stuck in purgatory, reaching for heaven.

I will be really excited if you can get manicures in heaven.

You shall not pass!

Dragon motifs are usually part of a temple complex.

This must be the guy who greets you at the gates if you drink too much whisky…
