Better known as the White Temple, Wat Rong Khu is a relatively modern Buddhist temple, a privately owned art exhibit and the creation of renowned Thai artist Chalermchai Khositpipat. Once just the forgotten ruins of an abandoned temple, this site has been transformed into a contemporary and visually striking landmark, as an offering to Lord Buddha in the hope of securing eternal life. Construction commenced in 1997 and is expected to be completed in 2070.
