Baku, October 18, AZERTAC Wat Rong Khun or the White Temple is one of the most original temples in Thailand. The original version of the temple was in very poor condition, when a famous Thai visual artist, Chalermchai Kositpipat, decided to buy the temple and turn it into a masterpiece of modern art. He designed and constructed the modern version of the temple.A team of 120 volunteer builders, architects, and artists worked together to make Kositpipat’s dream come alive. The owner paid $1.2 million to realize this project, yet the construction of the temple is not finished yet. Currently, the compound has 4 parts: a meditation hall, a hall of relics (ubosot), an art gallery, and accommodations for monks. All the 9 planned parts of the temple are going to be constructed around 2070.The White Temple in Chiang Rai is created in an eclectic style, combining the features and elements from different styles and epochs. The temple has elaborate ornamentation of facades and traditional Buddhist architecture. All the White Temple is covered with white plaster and small glass inserts. The sneaks of the edges and the three-tiered roof represent the traditional elements of Thai architecture.
