Wat Rong Khun main hall
White roofs and curling details turn a Chiang Rai temple into an artist's vision.
The story behind the place
Wat Rong Khun is a modern creative project associated with Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. Its white architecture stands out against the northern Thai landscape. The main hall has layered roofs, curling ornament and reflective details, while an elaborate bridge forms part of its approach. This is a contemporary work, rather than an ancient ruin, inviting visitors to see familiar temple forms through a different artistic imagination.
