White Temple of Chiang Rai – A Vision in Mirror and Light

#cityplaybook


Wat Rong Khun, famously known as The White Temple, is a jaw-dropping masterpiece that looks like it belongs in a dream. Designed by Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, this gleaming temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand blends Buddhist symbolism with surreal contemporary art.

Things to Do:
• Walk across the “bridge of rebirth” to the main temple hall
• Spot unexpected modern figures hidden in the murals (yes, even superheroes!)
• Take reflection shots of the temple in the surrounding pond

Tips:
• Dress respectfully (covered shoulders & knees)
• Best light for photos: before 10 AM or after 4 PM
• No photos allowed inside the temple’s main hall

Address/Location:
Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple)
Pa O Don Chai, Mueang Chiang Rai District, Chiang Rai 57000, Thailand
📍About 15 minutes’ drive from Chiang Rai city center

Stunning, symbolic, and totally surreal — the White Temple is an art-lover’s pilgrimage in Thailand.
