  Wat Rong Khun

 

Thailand

The ubosot or bot of Wat Rong Khun in Chiang Rai. Its construction started in 1998 and is supervised by the artist Chaleumchai Khositphiphat (fig.), an alumni of the Silpakorn University in Bangkok.

 

This unique temple is made of bright and white building materials ornamented with small pieces of glass, giving it an overwhelming, crystal-like appearance. The white colour represents purity and religion, like in the thong chaht, the Thai national flag (fig.).
