    One of the most beautiful and special temples in Thailand. Almost everything is kept in white only a few details are in color. The entrance fee of 50 Baht is worthwhile in any case for this highlight the best in the morning or from late afternoon come otherwise there are extremely many people there what the atmosphere is a bit deceptive.

      Unfortunately, the "white temple" overflows in the main season, so you can not really let the art and the impressions work on you. I wanted to be there at 8am and from afar I realized that I was not the only one with the idea ... 50 baht is perfectly adequate as you get a unique setting. Above all, that one proceeds from bad, evil, corrupting to good, liberating, is interesting, since I have not seen it that way in Buddhism. My hands at the beginning of the temple reminded me very much of purgatory in Christianity. Nevertheless, I think the Blue Temple is the better alternative, just as unique, though less artistically but less hustle and bustle.

        Interesting temple with many nice details. The whole complex does not only consist of the temple, but also of other art pieces and a small exhibition about the artist and the creation of the temple. It is not allowed to take pictures inside of the temple hall. The place is very popular and busy. Can be easily visited by bicycle.
