Welcome toWat Rong Khunoxw694500666-02.jpg

rMSbT7142957-02.jpg

Wat Rong Khun is very different to any of temple you are likely to see in Thailand. A lifetime project of artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, the temple has a fine blend of traditional Buddhist art with contemporary themes.

The temple is almost entirely white

It is though decorated with small pieces of mirrored glass which add substantially to the temple’s spacious and airy feel. Designed to be viewed in moonlight

Designed to be viewed in moonlight, if you can manage to get there when the moon is out it’s worth the effort ,very nice indeed.9f4jAn069915-02.jpg

This temple is certainly worth a visit unless you have limited time.

 P.S The bridge leading to the temple represents the crossing over from the cycle of rebirth to the Abode of Buddha. The small semicircle before the bridge stands for the human world. The big circle with fangs is the mouth of Rahu, meaning impurities in the mind, a representation of hell or suffering. All the paintings inside the ubosot (assembly hall) have golden tones. The four walls, ceiling and floor contain paintings showing an escape from the defilements of temptation to reach a supramundane state. On the roof, there are four kinds of animals representing earth, water, wind and fire. The elephant stands for the earth; the naga stands for water; the swan's wings represent wind; and the lion’s mane represents fire.In 1977, Chalermchai Kositpipat volunteered his service to carry out the construction of the ubosot at his own expense as an offering to Lord Buddha, but he later altered the plan as he saw fit in such a way that Wat Rong Khun developed into a prominent site attracting both Thai and foreign visitors.Nowadays, Wat Rong Khun is still being constructed. When completed, the construction project of Wat Rong Khun will consist of nine building: the ubosot, the hall containing Lord Buddha’s relics, the hall containing Buddha images, the preaching hall, the contemplation hall, the monk’s cell, the door façade of the Buddhavasa, the art gallery, and the toiletby wiki

address : Ban Rong Khun, Pa O Don Chai Sub-District, Mueang District, Chiangrai Mueang Chiang Rai, Chiang Rai(Far way from the city 65 kilometres)Wat Rong khun ,the famous well-known and impressed temple situated in Pa O Don Chai Sub-District, Mueang District, Chiangrai , a Northern province in Thailand.

About 10 kilometers from the Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai-Phayao Junction, or about 13 kilometers south of Chiang Rai City, is ?Wat Rong Khun?, still under construction in Chiang Rai, the hometown of its creator
