Wat Rong Khun (วัดร่องขุ่น) also referred to as the "White Temple", (unlike Thailands numerous ancient and historical temples) only began to be constructed in 1997/98 under the supervision of Thai artist, Chalermchai Kositpipat.
Chalermchai designed and supervised the construction of this beautiful white temple and its many statues.
Intended by Chalermchai to be a learning and meditation centre, where people can practice dharma and benefit from the teachings of Lord Buddha.
The temple is decorated with small pieces of mirrored glass which add to the spacious, airy feel. The white temple is best viewed in strong moonlight if the opportunity arises.
Wat Rong Khun is located about 10 kms (6 mi) south west of Chiang Rai
