During our Chiang Mai trip, we decided to do a day trip to Chiang Rai. Weeks before my arrival, I inform the driver (nice guy) that we intend to drop by White Temple, which is actually on the way to Chiang Rai. So there we were 
Wat Rong Khun is more well-known to the tourist (like me) as the White Temple. Its not hard to guess why. The color chosen (White) is to symbolize Lord Buddha’s purity and white glass to represent Lord Buddha’s wisdom shining all over the earth and universe.
Wat Rong Khun is designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat. I’m amazed by how he pay every little detail attention to the temple. And the picture speaks for itself. Construction started in 1997 and is still ongoing. No pictures allowed inside the temple.
Pretty hot day, hence the nicer picture, i likey
Can you see how white is white?
Me in front of the temple. The cloth to cover my leg was provided for free
Pictures – Surrounding the Temple
Looks nice right? Especially with the water feature that gives the reflection of the temple
Guess what? I thought the water is super shallow, but they rear fish. I love this pics
This is the sight you will see while getting to the bridge in front of the temple. The bridge symbolizes the transition of cycle from life to the land of Buddha.
On each side of the bridge, there are 8 monsters, totaling 16 monsters, which represents 16 types of passion.
I love how the artist really pay super detailed attention to the whole temple. :)
On the way to toilet tee hee
