Wat Rong Khun
** If you are getting bored of Buddhist temples from Thailand the good news is there is only one more post after this one.
I have to say that I really did not enjoy visiting Wat Rong Khun it seemed like something out of Las Vegas . However it is quite a striking photograph . i guess the strange spaceman is a modern take on the traditional yaksha who guard Buddhist temples
Wat Rong Khun better known as the White Temple, is a very modern Buddhist temple situated outside the city of Chiang Rai. The temple attracts a large number of visitors, both Thai and foreign, making it one of Chiang Rai's most visited attractions. The White Temple was created by master Chalermchai Kositpipat, the national artist who designed, constructed, and opened it to visitors in 1997.
The primary structure of the temple is made of a basic concrete frame and a wooden roof. Viewed from a distance, it appears to be crafted from sparkling porcelain, but on closer inspection it becomes evident that the dazzling effect is achieved through a blend of whitewash and transparent mirrored chips.
