The famous golden triangle in between the boarder of Thailand, Myanmar (Burma) and Laos
Our friendly elephant 'Chaitra'
Just south of Chiang Rai, off Highway 1, there is one of the most amazing and stunning temples we have ever seen in Thailand. Called officially the “Chapel of Wat Rong Khun” it has become to be known simply as “The White Temple”.
It was designed and built by Thailand’s premier artist Chaloemchai Khositphiphat, which we met personally and he handed over a signed picture of a Ganesh in a surreal environment. The attention to detail is remarkable (a kind of Thai Salvador Dali) and you do need to spend some time here studying the beautiful artwork.
