The Avatar Universe is found amongst Thai temples

It was a life changing spiritual quest amongst the solitude of the mountains of Thailand. My lovely guide picked me up and started the drive by sharing the story of the region. We first stopped at the Tsunami Museum and then took an hour and a half drive into the hillside on a newly paved road. The guide told me that the three temples are only where the locals go. The first stop was straight out of the movie “Aang, the last airbender”. The temple is still in the process of construction but it is an ancient spiritual site where stalactites and stalagmites formed the “cathedral” inside the cave: the monks live there and visit the site which made it a living temple. The second stop was a guided Buddhist temple with dragons and 60 Buddhas, there was a relic - Buddhas tooth from 2000 years ago. I had the temple all to myself since there was not a single person in sight: there are also giant Buddhas on the nearby hillside built in the jungle overseeing the valley. The last temple is the largest with a mix of Hindu and Chinese influenced temples. It’s a large complex with a lot to explore. It can be quite hot so prepare yourself with a fan and water. My guide was knowledgeable and kind. We stopped by for lunch after our tour and enjoyed thai dishes. A very unique and rare opportunity to find solitude away from the tourists.

Really cool to do!

It was a great experience to visit the 3 temples, especially because there was almost nobody so we had the sites for ourselves. The rain also added a beautiful charm to the whole experience, it wouldn't have been the same without it. Arisa was very patient and took a lot of photos of us. Thank you for the great memories!
