Ever since we understood the idea of a temple, we have imagined it as a sacred place where deities reside and devotees flock to offer puja. Whenever we think of a temple, it is usually associated with puja, prashad, spirituality or maybe all things religious. But one shouldn't forget that there are always exceptions, and this temple in Thailand is definitely one of them.
Wondering what is so unique about it? Well, this is a place where people don't just go to worship. Wat Arun Temple in Bangkok almost turns into a runway, with people dressing up, posing and doing their own photoshoots. Yes, you read that right.
