WAT RONGKHUN (WHITE TEMPLE), CHIANGRAI

Introduction About My Blog

At the present time, Wat Rongkhun is well known to the tourist around the world. Many people around the world don't miss visiting this temple (Wat) when they visit Chiangrai Province.

Wat RongKhun located in Chiangrai, the province in the north of Thailand. It is well known in the name of White Temple for some foreigners. It is owned by Chalermchai Kositpipat, a very famous Thai Artist of the North Thailand.

Why is Wat Rongkhun famous in North of Thailand? I think that are because of the beauty of the Architecture, graciousness, and delicateness. Moreover, You will find the Dharmic Principle in the way of Buddhist.

Information :

Place : Wat Rongkhun / White Temple

Wat Rongkhun has two Architectural Styles that are Buddhist Architecture and Hindu Architecture.

Very Interesting! & Fantastic !

I was taking a photo (Paper Picture) with the artist, Khun Chalermchai Kositpipat who designed, constructed and opened WAT RONGKHUN to visitors in 1997. He is the most famous artist of the north of Thailand.

Please note that the visitors are only allowed to take pictures outside. We can keep our great memory on the place in our mind forever. ^__^

HUMAN HEADS : What do you think about the Human Heads? They look Awful & Scary, but I think the artist tries giving us the principle on something of the buddhist belief.

The bridge of the cycle of rebirth : If you can notice on the above picture, you will find the awful and scary human handing up their arms. I don't know the meaning of this matter (will find the answer for this someday). However, I like the way to present like this.

There are many buildings at WAT RONGKHUN which are fantastic, beautiful and interesting like GATE OF HUMAN, UBOSOT (The Principal Building) etc.

Do you know what this Golden Building is? The answer is the Rest Room. Have you ever seen the beautiful rest room in the world? Let me know if you had seen where the beautiful rest room like this place is. I have never seen the luxurious rest room like this before.

If you would like to be the one who are happy on the way of great buddhist architecture, , just visit WAT RONGKHUN in your life.

Hope you all enjoy my traveling experience here. Good Luck!
