Wat Rong Khun is also known as the White Temple.
Whereas most temples visited by tourists have a history going back many centuries, this magnificent place of worship was completed only recently. It is the realization of a dream for Thailand's noted artist, Mr Chalermchai Kositpipat, who personally designed and is supervising the construction of this beautiful white temple and its many statues of figures based on religious beliefs.
Wat Rong Khun is different from any other temple in Thailand, as its ubosot (Pali: uposatha; consecrated assembly hall) is designed in white color with some use of white glass. The white color symbolizes Lord Buddha’s purity; the white glass stands for Lord Buddha’s wisdom that "shines brightly all over the Earth and the Universe."
The bridge leading to the temple represents the crossing over from the cycle of rebirth. The small semicircle before the bridge stands for the human world. The big circle with fangs is the mouth of Rahu, meaning impurities in the mind, a representation of hell or suffering.
