One day tour to the traditional hill tribes
We took a one day tour to see the traditional hill tribes.
The temple of DEVIL
In the car I found a brochure showing a beautiful white temple and I ask our guide where that was; I really wanted to see this special and other than others temple. To my surprise it was near Chiang Rai and if we wanted to see it he could take us there. “Yes of course, great!”
So we went to the temple and I was really stunned; al these glittering stones shining in the sun, it was almost blinding. I never ever saw a temple like this, it was really special, but on the other hand also a bit scary. It was a new temple and the people were still building it.
In front there were hands sticking out of the ground and reaching into the sky; it looked like people who were dying and trying to grab something to push their self out of the earth. Than there were these giant horns in front of the entrance and a scary man who looked like: the devil, standing there with a (baseball) stick in his hands on his head scalp.
Inside was a Buddha, the only thing that seemed normal in a Buddhist temple, but that was about it. People were still painting the wall. When we took a closer look it looked more like graffiti and we saw al modern things (like a watch, patrol station, high building, planes; things like that) and horrible things like monsters, devils and even horrible things, like the crash in the twin towers was shown on the wall.
So this was really one hell of a temple (literally). It was weird and scary at the same time. It was definitely different than other temples.
