South of Chiang Rai is the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) built by a Thai artist replacing the original Wat Rong Khun and is a work in progress. he says it will be finished in another 50 years. It was damaged in the earthquake in May 2014 and some say it was going to be demolished but since it was structurally fine, it is instead being repaired. You can see the damaged spire.
Creepy!!! The details are amazing.
Temples require that knees are covered so they often provide "skirts". Of courses this one is white.
Beautiful work.
This is one of two strange statues marking the washrooms. We are getting used to saying "toilet" here.
We had a scooter for the day so headed out to Singha Park which is a working farm, much like Canada's and had the most incredible view for a cup of tea.
Tea-time.
The Black House (Baan Si Dum)
This was a strange collection of building, animal skulls, alligator skins, giant snakes, snake skin and collections of many items that I am sure you are no longer allowed to collect.
This huge table was beautifully made from one piece of wood.
My favourite.
Sssssssnake!
Giant doors.
