1. White Temple (Wat Rong Khun)
The Rong Khun Temple stands out among other temples because it has been built entirely in a brilliant white colour with sparkling reflections coming from mirror glass mosaic tiles set within the white plasterwork. This temple came about through an idea conceived by Mr. Chalermchai Kositpipat, one of Thailand's most celebrated artists, who wished to create a temple made completely of white to symbolise the pureness of Lord Buddha. He continually incorporates his own personal beliefs and desires to enhance Buddhist teachings throughout this project.
