RE: The white temple, Khunkorn waterfall and Mae Lao - Chiang Rai, Thailand
I feel strange to go into religious places that are not mine. I feel like all the people trampling through without understanding are somehow messing with the place. But that temple sure looks lovely from the outside, and most of the people there must be believers.
I wonder how old it is and who built it. Could we even create something so beautiful today?
Great long exposure shots of the waterfall. I have been to Niagara Falls and know just what you mean about the spray. It's thrilling.
I love the yellow/orange/blue pheasant looking birds. I have never seem anything like them.
You packed in a full day on that jaunt. Thank you so much for showing us your cool trip.
The temple is actually brand new. It opened in 1997 😮. Well there was a temple before that, but it was in poor shape and it was bot white. I understand your feeling about tourists in religious places. I think it really messes with the intentions of such a place. It makes me think if this place was rebuilt for the religious people or for tourists 🤔
Oh wow, you have been to the Niagara Falls! Damn I really want to go there. It looks so impressive.

It is! I was lucky enough to grow up near the falls and have been many times. My dad loved them. Then later I went to school near them and got to walk by a few times a week. It's completely overwhelming. It's you ever go - the Canadian side is the one with the views.
I had no idea the white temple was new. I hope you get back - maybe on a weekday :)
