What's the difference between temples and halls in Thailand?

There are some remarkable differences in architectural style, color and decoration between temples in Thailand and Myanmar.

1. Architectural style: Temple buildings in Thailand are usually dominated by unique Thai architectural styles, including towering towers, curved roofs and gorgeous decorations. Temple architecture in Myanmar embodies the characteristics of Indian Buddhist architecture, such as towering towers, trapezoidal flat roofs and colorful paintings.

2. Colors and decorations: The colors and decorations of Thai temples are usually bright and gorgeous, mainly in gold and red. There are exquisite murals, sculptures and Buddha statues inside the temples. In contrast, Myanmar temples use more red and white gold, and there will be rich decorations inside the temples, but they are usually not as gorgeous as Thai temples.

Generally speaking, temples in Thailand and Myanmar have their own characteristics in appearance, interior decoration and style, reflecting the religious and cultural traditions of the two countries.
