What’s a Wat?

A Wat is a Buddhist temple in Thailand, Laos, or Cambodia. Similar to churches in the United States, religious buildings are common here. Unlike most churches, though, Wats are bringing some style and glory to religion!

There are hundreds upon hundreds of Wats throughout the countries! Big Wats, little Wats, short Wats, tall Wats. Some justify their own mini-post on my Facebook page, like the White Temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Some are simply small but beautiful.

I thought you guys might enjoy seeing all the Wats I’ve come across so far.
