The Wat Rong Khun is an unorthodox Buddhist temple in Thailand. Building of this unusual building started in 1997 by Thai painter-architecht Chalermchai Kositpipat, and was immediately dubbed 'The White Temple'.

The luxurious temple is a blend of traditional architecture that combines surreal elements together, and if you ever get to visit, you'll be hard pressed not to be impressed...

The main building is painted all in white to symbolize the purity of the Buddha. It is covered with a mosaic of mirrors, alight in the sun, which gives it a holy look.

But around the building, the atmosphere is a lot less holy. Complex statues of demons and skulls, severed heads hanging from trees and other strange objects, promise the traveler an otherworldly experience.
