Chiang Rai White Temple

Wat Rong Khun. This is one of those iconic visuals that always comes up when you see photos of Thailand. It did not disappoint. Sparkly, fancy, strange, very fairy land. Chalermchai Kositpipat is an artist who constructed this temple/art exhibit and paid for it all as a dedication to Buddha. 

If you look closely at the top of the spire, you can see some of the damage from an earthquake.

You can purchase lovely charms (very cheaply), write a prayer/wish on it, and hang it from the beautiful pagoda structures. There are thousands upon thousands of wish charms spread all over the grounds and down a walkway.
