Wat Rong Khun
A modern unconventional Buddhist and Hindu temple in Chiang Rai northern Thailand, Wat Rong Khun was designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat in 1997 and completed in 2008. Made in white for Lord Buddha’s purity; the white glass stands for Lord Buddha’s wisdom,while the bridge leading to the temple represents the crossing over from the cycle of rebirth to the Abode of Buddha. All the paintings inside the ubosot (assembly hall) have golden tones.
