[White Temple]
The White Temple is located in Chiang Rai, Northern Thailand, and was designed and built by Thai-Chinese artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. Construction of the White Temple began in 1998. Because of its pure white color and the various ornate carvings of white dragons, it is a unique architectural style that breaks away from traditional Thai temples. Designer Chalermchai Kositpipat hoped to perfectly blend Buddhism and art through the White Temple, using white to symbolize the purity of Buddha and the wisdom of Buddha illuminating the universe.

It is a Thai temple that perfectly blends traditional and modern art.

The museum is also considered by locals to be a symbol of hell.
[Long Neck Village]
The Long Neck Karen people consider long necks beautiful. Children start wearing copper rings around their necks from the age of 5-6, adding one ring each year to lengthen their necks. The necks of some can reach 70 centimeters. When bathing, the Long Neck Karen people can only scrub by stuffing straw into the copper rings and sawing back and forth. For their livelihood, they wear heavy shackles, displaying a cruel beauty to the world.
