Chalermchai wanted to build a temple that symbolized heaven with gleaming white for the Lord Buddha’s purity and the glass reflecting his wisdom shining over the earth and the universe. Before you enter the main temple you need to cross a small bridge. This crossing represents the transition from the cycle of life to the land of the Buddha.
The theme of the Buddha’s teachings or Dharma being a release for human passion and desire is symbolized throughout the temple grounds. Look out for the whisky bottles in the trees with demon heads and also the traffic cones with demons on them. This theme is continued with the thought-provoking murals inside the main temple. Artistic depictions of the collapse of New York’s Twin Towers aren’t what you would expect to find in a Thai Buddhist temple, but the artwork on display here is truly unique. Take a close look at the murals and you will see some surreal scenes with rocket ships and cartoon characters including Spiderman, Superman and Doraemon on display. The murals are still in the process of being painted so don’t be surprised if when you visit you actually get to see one of the artists at work.
