The Zen secrets of the Silver Temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand, the otherworldly world of "Spirited Away"

When the first rays of morning light penetrate the mist The dome of the Silver Temple turned into a flowing Milky Way The pagoda made of 300 kilograms of pure silver reflects the shimmering light in the sun. The lotus pattern carved by Thai craftsmen over a period of 40 years When I touch it with my fingertips, it seems like petals are trembling - There are no bustling pilgrims here, only the occasional silhouette of monks' robes among the mottled shadows of the trees. The bodhi incense in the copper bowl is wrapped in the scent of damp moss, making people feel as if they have fallen into the other world of "Spirited Away". ✨ Private camera: 1️⃣ Stand in the temple corridor at sunrise and watch the golden morning light coat the silver roof with amber edges 2️⃣ Take a photo from the corner at dusk, the mottled wood carvings and silverware collide to create a wonderful light and shadow 3️⃣ Spread out the plain gauze curtain under the Bodhi tree in the backyard of the temple to take a photo with a sense of atmosphere 📌 Cultural Tips: ▫️You need to take off your shoes and go barefoot when entering the temple. The silver floor is as cool as water, so it is recommended to wear thin socks ▫️There is a traditional silver craft exhibition every Wednesday and Saturday, where you can watch craftsmen carve Buddha statues ▫️Pairing with a long skirt + straw bag has an oriental Zen feel, avoid revealing shorts - Tips: The Silver Temple is 8 kilometers away from Chedi Luang Temple. You can rent a tuk-tuk and pass by the Jungle Cafe along the way. It is recommended to set off early in the morning to enjoy double the scenery. ✨ This is not just a temple, it is a silver mirror left by the gods in the world, reflecting all the piety and years. 🌿A must-visit Zen secret place in Chiang Mai🙏 -
