The Strangest Temple of Them All

---

Like anyone travelling in South East Asia, I have visited a ridiculous number of temples. Some amazing (Angkor Wat), while many seem blah after you have seen too many. So itis with great surprise that the strangest temple I have seen in almost 4 months of travelling is one that we stumbled upon between Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai. I call it the White Temple because I have no idea what its real name is, but it is way more than its obvious white colouring.

While white means purity and peace in the West, it represents death in Asian cultures and death is what was on display at this temple. From hanging heads to demon sculptures, there was nothing pure or peaceful about this temple. It was absolutely fascinating.

Unfortunately, we weren't dressed properly to go inside but it didn't stop us from exploring as much of it as possible. If anyone knows what this temple is named, I would love to find out so let me know.
