Outlandish and pink, and wrapped around with a gigantic dragon for good measure is the iconic building of Wat Sampran in Nakhon Pathom.
Constituting a great shot as seen here by @kanghwasong, this bizarre building has always been a magnet for those wishing to change sceneries from the usual golden-and-gilded temples that riddle across town.

Wat Sampran Dragon Temple, Thailand 😊😇🙋♂️ Wat Samphran (Thai วัดสามพราน) is a Buddhist temple (wat) in Amphoe Sam Phran, Nakhon Pathom province, around 40 kilometers to the west of Bangkok. The temple was officially registered in 1985. The temple is notable for its 17-story tall pink cylindrical building with a gigantic dragon sculpture curling around the entire height. The interior of the dragon sculpture contains a staircase, which has however deteriorated to a poor condition in places. It also contains a huge buddha statue as well as many additional buddhist statues. A former Buddhist abbot has been sentenced to 160 years in prison for raping nine underage girls living at his temple west of the Thai capital. Chamlong Khonsue, 55, known as Pra Pawana Buddho when he presided over the Sampran Temple in Nakhon Pathom province, was convicted along with six former nuns who procured the girls for him between 1988 and 1995. . . . . #watsamphran #maeklongrailwaymarket #thailand #thaitraveling #beautifulthailand #thailandonly #thailandismagic #thailand_ig #wheninthailand #discoverthailand #unseenthailand #thailandinsider #thailandluxe #thailandinstagram #thailand2019 #backpackersintheworld #travelsolo #neverstoptravelling #travelbucketlist #wondermore #theearthoutdoors #earthoutdoors #traveltheglobe #traveladdicted #theculturetrip #adventurethatislife #solotravelingisfun #worldnomads #worldnomad #iamatraveller (at วัดไร่ขิง อ.สามพราน จ.นครปฐม) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bye0EEXp-1P/?igshid=1qqsfhh0ql2gh
#RT @fanclubthailand: Did you know that the dragon at Wat Sampran in Sam Phran wraps around 17-stories? With its bright pink design and epic guardian, it’s certainly an impressive site. Thanks for the awesome snap @kanghwasong #temples #culturetravel #am… https://t.co/ptKJSdlnNS DoctorBkk
