A relatively modern construction, this temple was opened in 1997. White Temple was created by Thai artist Ajarn Chalermchai Kositpipat and is located in the province of Chiang Rai. Intricately adorned with gleaming white sculptures and decorations, the White Temple looks like something from another world. Furthermore, the sculptures and decorations depict Buddhist beliefs and mythology. For example, the Gate of Heaven, the Cycle of Rebirth Bridge and the intricate Naga Serpents contain a multitude of hidden meanings to uncover. With a three-tiered roof and surrounded by a mirror-like lake, visiting the White Temple in Thailand is a must-do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Wat_Pho_%E2%80%93_Bangkok\"><\/span>2.

Home to the ashes of King Rama I, Wat Pho is famous for housing the largest collection of Buddha images in the country. The most famous depiction of Buddha is the 46 metre-long Reclining Buddha, a huge golden icon that represents the end of reincarnation and the entrance to Nirvana in Buddhism. The Wat Pho complex is also home to 108 bronze bowls, representing the 108 positive actions that led Buddha to enlightenment. Overall, Wat Pho is one of the best Thai temples to visit for an introduction to Buddhism in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Wat_Arun_%E2%80%93_Bangkok\"><\/span>3.

Nicknamed the &#8216;Temple of Dawn&#8217;, as the sun rises over Bangkok the central stupa, measuring 82 metres in height, takes on a radiant pearly iridescence. The central stupa or &#8216;prang&#8217; is said to represent Mount Meru, the centre of the earth in Tibetan Buddhism, whilst all five stupas are decorated in glazed porcelain and seashells. Additionally, the interior is home to amazing murals, in honour of Thai royalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Sanctuary_of_Truth_%E2%80%93_Pattaya\"><\/span>4.&nbsp; Sanctuary of Truth &#8211; Pattaya<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sanctuary-of-Truth-BLOG-thailand-temples.png\" alt=\"Sanctuary of Truth \" class=\"wp-image-4801\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Carved entirely from teak wood, the beautiful Sanctuary of Truth is located in Pattaya, on the Gulf of Thailand. The Sanctuary of Truth was built to function as a museum of philosophy, art and religion. You could spend hours admiring the intricate carvings, depicting scenes from both Thai, Hindu, Buddhist, Chinese, and Khmer traditions. Although construction began on the sanctuary in 1981, it remains unfinished, but visitors still flock to this site to the amazing fusion of architectural styles and religious beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Temple_of_a_Million_Bottles_%E2%80%93_Sisaket\"><\/span>5. Temple of a Million Bottles &#8211; Sisaket<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most unique temples in Thailand, the Temple of a Million Bottles is officially known as Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew. As a result of an eco-friendly initiative to reduce the mounting litter problem, used glass bottles were donated to the local monks of Sisaket who used the waste to build a temple entirely of glass bottles over the course of two years. Amazingly, all of the 20 buildings in the complex is made of glass bottles, numbering 1.5 million bottles in total. Furthermore, the positive message of recycling and protecting the planet eloquently demonstrates the Buddhist principle of non-harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Wat_Mahathat_%E2%80%93_Sukhothai\"><\/span>6.

Dating back to around the 14th-century, this Thai temple was one of the most important of the ancient Ayutthaya Kingdom. Although partially ruined, this incredible monastery complex is home to the famous &#8216;Tree Buddha&#8217;, a stone Buddha sculpture that has been encompassed in ancient tree roots over the centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Emerald_Temple_%E2%80%93_Bangkok\"><\/span>7.

Although made from jasper, rather than emerald, this figurine is thought to bring good luck to all who view it. In fact, over the centuries the Emerald Buddha has travelled throughout Asia before coming to its final resting place at the Emerald Temple. Curiously, the Buddha has its costume changed every season. Since it arrived in Bangkok in 1784, the figurine has been cared for by a succession of Thai kings<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Wat_Chaiwatthanaram_%E2%80%93_Ayutthaya\"><\/span>8.

One of the best temples in Thailand, the impressive ruins of Wat Chaiwatthanaram reveal the immense influence of Buddhism on Thai culture. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this was originally a Royal Temple, where Thai royals would perform religious ceremonies. Furthermore, if you visit Wat Chaiwatthanaram, you will see that the structure of the temple reflects the Buddhist view of the world. The architectural style is similar to the Khmer temples of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/ca\/asia\/southeast-asia\/cambodia\">Cambodia.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, now you know the most unmissable temples in Thailand, which will you visit first?
