The most beautiful temples in Thailand
In predominantly Buddhist Thailand, there are more than 40,000 temples, all unique in their architectural style and interior decoration. The more elaborate, ornate and golden, the more magnificent their reputation! The ancient temples Wat Arun and Wat Pho and the gigantic plant of the Grand Palaceª in Bangkok belong on every Thailand bucket list. In the south we recommend the Wat Chalong temples on Phuket and the adventurous Tiger Cave Temple in Krabi. If you are traveling on the mainland, you should definitely stop at the Wat Tham Chaeng stop in Phetchaburi - here you can see an extraordinary colorful Naga sculpture that you can walk under. In the north, our favorites are the sparkling White Temple in Chiang Rai, the Twin pagodas in Doi Inthanon as well as the unique Floating Pagodas in the high mountains of Chiang Mai. In the ancient capitals of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai, you can discover countless temple ruins from the old kingdom. These include, for example, the impressive chedis of the Wat Phra Si Sanphet and Wat Mahathatwhich houses the famous Buddha head entwined with tree roots.
