It’s easy to see why Wat Chantaram (also known as Wat Tha Sung) is often referred to as the Glass Temple. The interior of the sacred space, which is located in west-central Thailand, calls to mind a house of mirrors like the ones typically found inside a fun house. Decorated with dozens of glass columns that reflect the light, the columns lead up to a giant golden Buddha that replicates the original Phra Phuttha Chinnarat statue, found at another temple, Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat, and regularly referred to as “the most beautiful image of Buddha in Thailand.”
