One of a kind in the world and unlike other temples anywhere else. It is a must see when visiting Northern Thailand.

One of the most beautiful Buddhist and Hindu temples in Thailand, done in a modern contemporary style, is undoubtedly Wat Rong Khun. This temple, which is in Chiang Rai in Northern Thailand, is more well-known among foreigners as The White Temple.The attention to detail in the temple is remarkable and you do need to spend some time here studying the beautiful artwork. (Unfortunately, photographs were not allowed inside the temple.) To reach the temple you have to cross a bridge over a pit of hell. Down below there are sculptures of people who are presumably trying to escape from hell. One of the new buildings is this Golden Toilet which is probably the most beautiful rest room in Thailand. The temple was designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat. Construction began in 1997 and is ongoing.
