Photo of the Day - Chiang Rai's White Temple

by Jeremy Kressmann (RSS feed) on Feb 6th 2011 at 6:00PM

If you've been following Gadling's Travel Talk web series recently, you may have noticed Stephen and Aaron wandering around Thailand, checking out the country's numerous and intricate temples. But one temple they haven't hit yet is this amazing White Temple, found in the country's far northern city of Chiang Rai. Today's photo, by Flickr user LadyExpat, looks like something straight out of a dream. The temple's surreal whitewashed color, insanely detailed carvings and glassy water reflection looks almost otherworldly. Is this heaven?

Taken any great travel photos recently? Why not add them to our Gadling group on Flickr? We might just pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.

Yes, I agree, a very beautiful photo. Here you can read more about the White Temple "Wat Rong Khun".

The story is in German but with the Google Translator into english, check it. No pop up advertisement, it's a real web site ;-)
I also put a slide show of some temple shots in. Have Fun!
