The white Temple, Wat Rong Khun designed the white temple in 1997 in Thailand, it looks like a heavenly item placed on earth by god. It’s the most detailed temple in Thailand, but some people would think it is only related to heaven due to it’s white and pure color, assuming if you look at it and imagine it in red and black it would look evil, but then we remember that Buddhism is not about heaven and hell it’s related to the cycle of life, reincarnation.
