FAIRY TALE LIKE WAT

 The first thought that crossed my mind when I saw a picture of Wat Rong Khun (Thai: วัดร่องขุ่น) was that this stunningly beautiful building was something out of fantasy movie but then when I did a search on it, I realised that this place is real.  Wat Rong Khun is actually a contemporary unconventional Buddhist temple in Chiang RaiThailand which is painted all white for purity with glittering glass for the teaching of the Buddha. It was designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat. Construction began in 1996 and is expected to be completed in 2070.
Aiyoh!  So beautiful.  If I ever go to Thailand, I will try and visit this place.
