No Experience Required

A morning haze lifts off the plains as the minivan slips north from Chiang Mai, towns and rice paddies sliding past like pages. By midmorning a hot spring hisses at the roadside, steam rising as if the earth is exhaling. The White Temple appears next: a modern, white mosaic shrine whose carved hands and mirrored glass catch sunlight and curiosity alike. It’s an immediate collision of contemporary art and Buddhist iconography.
