Photo Essay: Architecture of Southeast Asia

A photo can sometimes say more than words. And with such beauty in Southeast Asia, a photo can say A LOT!

From temples and mosques to hotels, architecture in Southeast Asia is creative, detailed, and extraordinary. With that being said, I wanted to share some of these stunning works of architecture photos with you.

Thailand:

Grand Palace


1) Grand Palace, Bangkok
Now this is a site to marvel at! Those statues are actually half man-half bird.

Singapore:

Buddha Tooth Relic Temple

2) Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, Singapore
Located in Chinatown, this temple is home to Buddha’s tooth relic!

Marina Bay Sands

3) Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
Taken during the famous light show, this hotel is a gem, architecturally speaking. It really gives off Singapore’s futuristic-ness!

Malaysia:

Petrones Tower

4) Petrones Tower, Kuala Lumpur
Almost everyone who has traveled to KL has a shot or two of this landmark, but not everyone can capture it the same way!

Melaka Strait Mosque

5) Malacca Straits Mosque, Malacca
Located on Malacca Island, this mosque is one of the world’s most beautiful mosques. This photo truly takes my breath away!
