Wat Rong Khun, Buddhist temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand
The temple features a white exterior adorned with mirrored glass pieces, creating reflective surfaces across multiple buildings and ornate structures.
Chalermchai Kositpipat initiated the construction of Wat Rong Khun in 1997 to replace an older temple that had deteriorated beyond repair.
The temple combines traditional Buddhist imagery with modern elements in its murals, including contemporary figures and global events to illustrate spiritual teachings.
The temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with separate entrance fees for Thai nationals and international tourists.
Inside the main building, intricate murals display unexpected elements such as spaceships, superheroes, and international landmarks alongside Buddhist symbolism.
