Wat Rong Khun, the White Temple in Thailand

 
   

 
Wat Rong Khun, more well-known among foreigners as the White Temple, is a contemporary unconventional Buddhisttemple in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. It was designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat in 1997.

On 5 May 2014 at 18:08 (local time), the temple was heavily damaged by the earthquake in Mae Lao that struck the province. It was closed indefinitely. Chalermchai said on 6 May that he would demolish the whole temple and would not rebuild it.
