Wat Rong Khun (1996- 2070)

The White Temple, is the only one in its kind. Inspired by modern life and thai culture, the monastery has been built with unconventional approach by Chalermchai Kositpipat. It is an ongoing project located in the province of Chiang Rai, Thailand. Thought the temple is not finished yet the attention to detail is quite impressive, (well known in Thai trait of culture). Inside the temple, you will be able to see pop culture reference such as Neo from the Matrix, Batman & Superman  going towards a "higher path" and leaving  elements of our current lifestyle such as  ipads & other material effects behind.
