2012-11-24 Thailand Day 06, Wat Rong Khun, Chiang Rai
Wat Rong Khun is also known as the White Temple. Whereas most temples visited by tourists have a history going back many centuries, this magnificent place of worship was built only recently. Wat Rong Khun is a contemporary unconventional Buddhist temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand. It is the realization of a dream for Thailands noted artist, Mr Chalermchai Kositpipat, who designed and is supervising the construction of this beautiful white temple and its many statues of figures based on religious beliefs. Construction began in 1996 and is expected to be completed 60 - 90 years after the death of the artist and designer.
