Overtemplelitis hit me after spending some time in Angkor Wat. But I got over it when I visited Wat Rong Khun, better known as “the White Temple” in Chiang Rai, Thailand. I signified the purity of Buddha and it was created by Chalermchai Kositpipat, a famous Thai visual artist. I particularly love how it sparkled in the because of the artist put pieces of glass in the plaster. It was just a couple of hours or so from Chiang Mai.

It won't be a single temple but a temple complex with nine buildings. Too bad it was hit by the earthquake in 2015 so the bridge was being fixed when I was there.
