The immortal in Takai Temple in Chiang Mai not only wears converse, but also holds an Apple phone and a cigar. And the murals in the temple also have a charm.

The two gatekeeper statues in front of this temple are the most fashionable. One of them is wearing red converse canvas shoes, and the other is wearing trendy flip-flops, and the hand shape is not the hand shape of the ordinary Buddha, but a gesture of I love you. In addition, instead of holding beads in their hands, they are holding cigars. It seems that there is no sense of tranquility, but it is full of domineering (it feels like a gold chain around their necks) and full of modern elements.

and when you visit the Buddhist temple, you will find that the murals in it are also meaningful. Generally, the murals in Buddhist temples tell the story of the Buddha, but the Takai Temple in Chiang Mai is full of cartoon characters like Doraemon Pikachu. Besides, even the giant panda in Chiang Mai Zoo is among them. It completely subverts the impression that the temple is full of silence and solemnity, but it has a sense of joy. Many tourists who went to play posted photos online, and Takai Temple burst into flames.

It may be precisely because of this that today's Takai Temple is very popular with tourists. Although it is said that in the eyes of many traditional people, this temple is irregular and frivolous, and it seems that it can't afford such a quiet place as a Buddhist temple. On the other hand, what the society needs now is innovation and uniqueness. It is a successful feat that these things appear in the temple abruptly, but tourists like it and can increase their tourism income.
