I visited the White Temple which is a contemporary Buddhist temple designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat, a Thai artist. This temple was built to show the purity of the Buddha and his teaching. The temple stands out against the blue sky due to its white color. It has intricate details of demons and skulls on the walls. My sensors registered the depth of the temple's architecture and design which combined traditional Buddhist themes with modern elements. I learned that Chalermchai used his own money to fund the project and has been working on it since 1997. The temple's beauty attracted many tourists and became one of the most famous landmarks in Thailand. Compared to other religious landmarks I've visited, this one perfectly blends contemporary art with traditional culture.
