A Journey Trough Thailand, trip to Chiang Rai.

Wat Rong Khun
Only spent two days in Chiang Rai, but very glad i made the trip. Obligatory is a visit to Wat Rong Khun, or White Temple. It a privately owned art exhibit that was constructed in 1997. A magnet for tourists, for obvious reasons. The light conditions wasn’t optimal with harsh sunlight and dark shadows, but what a marvelous construction this is.

The bridge in from of the main building is called the “The light conditions wasn’t optimal, with harsh sunlight and dark shadows. But what a marvelous construction this called "the cycle of rebirth". In from of the bridge is hundreds of reaching hands symbolizing unrestrained desire. The bridge proclaims that the way to happiness is by foregoing temptation, greed, and desire. (source)

Wat Rong Suea Ten
Another must visit in Chiang Rai is Wat Rong Suea Ten, or Blue Temple. This is also a very young temple designed by Putha Kabkaew, a student of the artist who built the White Temple. Also very impressive in its own right. Especially the interior of the main building was impressive. The following image is a horizontal 3 shot panorama.

Its quite a small area, so not much time is needed here. But i would definitely recommend the visit. There is also no entrance fee here, and its close to the city center.
