The White Temple is more like a work of art than a temple.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The White Temple is almost a must-visit attraction when traveling to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. The building combines religious elements and modern art, with pure white as the background color and delicate carvings, but beneath the pure appearance, it is full of images of hell. The ponds surrounding the temple symbolize reincarnation, and the bridge leading to the main hall symbolizes crossing over life and death. The rule when walking on the bridge is not to look back or stop, just like walking forward from the underworld to the Pure Land. It is not possible to photograph the interior of the main hall, so the colorful murals can only remain in memory. It is more like a work of art than a temple. It takes 3 hours to drive here from the old city of Chiang Mai, but it is well worth it to appreciate this exquisite architectural art. It can be arranged together with nearby famous attractions such as the Blue Temple, Red Temple and Black Temple.
