Wat Rong Khun or the White Temple in Thailand is the place where you can feel the atmosphere of hell and heaven. It looks like a magic castle. Its size, architectural style and interior are almost beyond imagination.
The White Temple was designed in 1997 by Chalermchai Kositpipat, a Thai artist. The construction work is expected to be finished by 2070. Can you imagine its magnitude? It is the case when people say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
#1 Once you enter the Temple there's no way back
#2 Because if you turn back you'll be in hell
#3 There are a lot of details at every turn
#4 Mythological creatures will meet you near the pond
