About White Temple (Wat Rong Khun)

Chiang Rai's most famous landmark — a dazzling all-white contemporary temple created by local artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. Genuinely worth the hype.

Local tip: It gets crowded from late morning. Arrive before 9:00 for the calmest experience and best photos. The mirrored surface is blinding at midday — bring sunglasses.
