In this photo series we highlight the many beautiful temples that are so characteristic of Thailand. Just like Buddhism, temples and temple grounds play an important role in social life in Thailand.
What is certainly striking is the wide variety of temples, partly due to regional influences. Think of the typical Lanna style. In addition, there are historical influences that you mainly encounter in the various provinces, such as Khmer temples. Almost no temple is the same and if you look closely you will also see the differences.
In addition to the temples, we also pay attention to other Buddhist icons such as statues, pagodas, decorations, murals and other relics.
Enjoy this special part of Thailand.
