SEA-Teacher Project: #13. Interesting Place in Chiang Rai Part 3

Chiang Rai, 11 February 2018.

Our buddy from CRRU promise to bring us walk to see the famous white temple of Chiang Rai. The promise to come at 1 but ended up come at 2:(WKWKWKW Wat Rong Khun is a unique temple that stands out through the white color and the use of pieces of glass in the plaster, sparkling in the sun. The white color signifies the purity of the Buddha, while the glass symbolizes the Buddha’s wisdom and the Dhamma, the Buddhist teachings.

The Wat Rong Khun was designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat, a famous Thai visual artist. To date the temple is not finished. Eventually there will be nine buildings including an ubosot, a hall to enshrine Buddhist relics, a meditation hall, the monks living quarters and an art gallery.
