The White Temple About 13KM near the city of Chiang Rai, in northern Thailand, The unsual and popular Wat Rong Khun, a
Buddhist temple poised to become one of the most stunningly beautiful in the
world. Painted all white for purity with glittering glass for the teaching of
the Buddha, the temple is designed by the Thai Buddhist artist Chalermchai
Kositpipat, and is expected to be finished in 2070.

Wat Rong Khun is rich with symbolism derived
from Buddhist and Hindu traditions, as well as some more unorthodox sources.
Inside, Wat Rong Khun contains the expected statues of the Buddha,
but the Buddhist artist has also included images of Superman, Batman, and
Neo from The Matrix who
he believes further the Buddha's message.

“Only death can stop my dream but cannot stop my
project," Chalermchai Kositpipat reportedly said about Wat Rong
Khun. Kositpipat refers to the temple as an offering to Lord Buddha and
believes the project will give him immortal life.
