It was such a hot day in Chiang Rai, Thailand that I thought my skin was crisping up in the heat of the sun. But upon seeing the wondrous Wat Rong Khun – White Temple – I forgot about the heat ... at least momentarily.
Through the sea of people, the gleaming white temple loomed into view, charming us with its stately architecture. The morning sun cast a warm light on the glistening facade of the complex.
