Wat Rong Khun (Thai: วัดร่องขุ่น), better known as the White Temple, is a Buddhist temple and one of the most recognizable temples in Pa O Don Chai, Mueang District, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. The temple outside the town of Chiang Rai attracts a large number of visitors, both Thai and foreign, making it one of Chiang Rai’s most visited attractions. The White temple was created by master Chalermchai Kositpipat, the national artist who designed, constructed, and opened it to visitors in 1997.[2]
The primary structure of the temple is made of a basic concrete frame and a wooden roof. And while, when viewed from afar, it appears to be crafted from sparkling porcelain, upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that the dazzling effect is achieved through a blend of whitewash and transparent mirrored chips. The outer surfaces are adorned with white plaster and incorporated glass inserts.[3][4]
