Wat Sirindhorn Wararam Phu Phrao, Buddhist temple in Chong Mek, Thailand.
The white temple structure stands on a hilltop overlooking the Mekong River, featuring multiple tiers and ornate architectural details throughout its design.
The temple opened its doors on July 4, 2002, marking a new chapter in religious architecture near the Thailand-Laos border region.
The temple walls display Buddhist teachings through detailed murals that incorporate traditional Thai artistic methods with modern painting techniques.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a bus from Ubon Ratchathani to Chong Mek, followed by a short tuk-tuk ride to the temple entrance.
The temple walls contain phosphorescent paintings that absorb sunlight during the day and emit a bright green glow after sunset.
