Thailand White Temple, Wat Rong Kun
This is a relatively new temple, and an amazing piece of architecture. It is still a work in progress with silver and white glittering decorations being added. It is an extremely popular spot, and the only way to get it without people is to photograph it in the morning before it opens. When I was there in winter, it opened at 08:00 hours.
Photography Tips
Go early before the gates open and the crowds stream in.
