The Pink Dragon Temple in Thailand Is Like Nothing Else in the World

Wat Samphran is the Buddhist Temple of the Rising Dragon located about 25 miles west of Bangkok in the Nakon Pathom province of Thailand. The 17 story tower is a building you can’t miss: the structure is painted pink and features a dragon wrapping around the whole thing. Atop the temple is the dragon’s head, a sight that tourists often climb the stairs in order to get a closer look at.

This incredible building was the concept of the temple’s founder who came up with the idea in a dream after a 7-day fast. Not commonly featured in guidebooks, this unique temple has often mystified travelers who happened upon it. Take a look at this amazing temple in the video below.
