The temple of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is certainly one of the most important temples in Chiang Mai, as well as one of the most revered among all Thais. The giant Chedi (seen here), covered with gold, is the dominant sight inside. It contains the Buddha relics. Wat Prathat Doi Suthep dates back from the fourteenth century.
The whole Chiang Mai set can be viewed here.

Borobudur temple in Jogjakarta at sunrise. Located at the Java Island, it is the world's largest Buddhist temple. Now it is a UNESCO heritage and the most visited tourist attraction in Indonesia.
Extract from UNESCO
"This famous Buddhist temple, dating from the 8th and 9th centuries, is located in central Java. It was built in three tiers: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and, at the top, a monumental stupa. The walls and balustrades are decorated with fine low reliefs, covering a total surface area of 2,500 m2. Around the circular platforms are 72 openwork stupas, each containing a statue of the Buddha. The monument was restored with UNESCO's help in the 1970s."

What is Theravada Buddhism?
Theravada (pronounced — more or less — "terra-VAH-dah"), the "Doctrine of the Elders," is the school of Buddhism that draws its scriptural inspiration from the Tipitaka, or Pali canon, which scholars generally agree contains the earliest surviving record of the Buddha's teachings.For many centuries, Theravada has been the predominant religion of continental Southeast Asia (Thailand, Myanmar/Burma, Cambodia, and Laos) and Sri Lanka. Today Theravada Buddhists number well over 100 million worldwide. In recent decades Theravada has begun to take root in the West.

Le Wat Rong Khun (en thaï : วัดร่องขุ่น) est un temple situé à 13 km au sud de Chiang Rai, en Thaïlande, il est communément appelé le temple blanc. Il a été construit par Chalermchai Kositpipat (en), un artiste thaï de renom qui a voulu créer un tribut durable à Rama IX, ancien roi de Thaïlande décédé en 2016, et également honorer sa ville natale.
En rupture avec la plupart des autres temples, celui-ci est d’une blancheur extraordinaire, pour symboliser la pureté du bouddhisme, et incrusté de morceaux de miroir pour suggérer la réflexion de l’illumination. Pour y accéder, le visiteur doit d'abord passer entre deux crocs géants, puis devant un lac parsemé de créatures des enfers.
Il devait être achevé en 2008, mais ne sera terminé qu'en 20701. L’ensemble comprendra neuf bâtiments, qui constitueront la vision du paradis bouddhiste sur terre telle qu’imaginée par l'artiste. Le financement du temple est assuré par la vente des peintures de celui-ci, exposées et vendues dans un bâtiment annexe.
Tremblement de terre[modifier | modifier le code]
Le 5 mai 2014, à 18h08 (heure locale), le temple est endommagé par un tremblement de terre (en)2. Il doit alors fermer indéfiniment3 et pour son créateur, il doit être démoli pour des raisons de sécurité4.
Cependant, après une visite d'experts, il apparaît que tous les bâtiments sont structurellement sains. Chalermchai annonce alors qu'il se donne deux ans pour redonner la beauté originelle au temple également et que celui-ci sera de nouveau ouvert aux visiteurs5.

Two Spanish explorers spotted an old temple at the verge of the jungle. They already imagine the great riches that it might hold. However, the temple is not forgotten. Soon they will meet its brave defenders…
I started building the rocks and the beach last year as a base for some castle ruins. Now I’ve finally been reunited with my bricks and decided to finish it, but the idea changed a bit. The landscape looked exotic enough to put an Aztec temple on top of it instead.
I have said many times how much I enjoyed my night in Epcot after the park closed.
