Tourists who want to visit a more non-traditional Buddhist temple should plan a trip to Wat Pha Sorn Kaew in Khao Kho. Otherwise known as the “Temple on the Glass Cliff,” this modern sanctuary is in a remote location in the hills of Thailand. The contemporary architecture is said to closely resemble that of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí rather than traditional Thai design and construction. Those who want to visit this unique temple and the white shrine of five meditating Buddhas nested together like deconstructed matryoshka dolls will need to arrange for private transportation for the 5-hour trip north of Bangkok.
