Amidst this scene of destruction and chaos, with golden flowers surrounding sits a peaceful white Buddha in front of an even larger Buddha who is surrounded by angelic deities floating in some celestial kingdom.

Chalermchai wishes Wat Rong Khun to become a learning and meditation center for people to practice dharma and gain benefit from the teachings of Lord Buddha.

Wat Rong Khun is still a work in progress and will be for years to come. It is planned to comprise nine buildings including the ubosot (chapel), pagoda, hermitage, crematorium, monastery hall, preaching hall, museum, pavilion, and rest room facilities which will be built on an area of about 3 acres.
