Wat Rong Khun

Wat Rong Khun, or to us touri, The White Wat, is about 15 minutes outside of Chiang Rai and worth the trek no matter how may wats you've already seen! If you take a package tour, you'll only get about 30 minutes to see this place, which is no way long enough . . . you can spend that long just checking ouot the restroom!

Wat Rong Khun Demon

There's always a guardian at the front of Thai temples. But rarely do they seem to take their job as serious as this guy! Loved the pointing finger . . . just in case you thought it was some other guy he was admonishing.

Wat Rong Khun Finial

Demons, Death, and Skulls play an important role in the artist's vision, so much so that the finials on the surrounding fence all sport silver skulls.

Chaloemchai Khositphiphat

If you notice an angry little man yelling at the crowds, go buy a postcard and have him sign it - he's the architect and artist of the wat, Chaloemchai Khositphiphat.
