Ascend Thailands Temple of the Rising Dragon

Ascend Thailands Temple of the Rising Dragon
Pink towers and giant Dragons sounds like a scene from a fairy tale, but in this case, it's not. In the Sampran district sits one of Thailand's most unique temples. What Sampran is a pink shrine dedicated to the Buddhist faith and measures 260 feet or 80 meters high, representing the age of Buddha when he died. While the temple is known for the giant encircling dragon, its meaning remains a mystery. Bhavano Bhutto, the founder of the temple, was inspired to create the Hollow Dragon building during a seven day fasting meditation. Construction took only five years. Visitors can climb the stairs of the 17 story temple to touch the Dragon's beard, or they can climb inside the belly of the beast. This temple is a must visit for people looking to discover something truly one-of-a-kind.
