Wat Rong Khun

Admission ticket included

White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) (1 hour) Marvel at this gleaming white masterpiece, a stunning creation by Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. Unlike traditional temples, the White Temple blends contemporary Buddhist art with surreal symbolism, featuring intricate carvings, mirrored mosaics, and thought-provoking murals that incorporate modern elements like superheroes and pop culture icons. The bridge leading to the temple represents the cycle of rebirth, while the interior murals depict the struggle between good and evil. This temple is not just a religious site but a living work of art, evolving with continuous renovations and additions.

Baan Dam Museum

This controversial yet fascinating collection of over 40 black wooden buildings showcases intricate carvings, taxidermy, skulls, and animal bones, reflecting themes of life, death, and human nature. Unlike a temple, this space challenges traditional beliefs and offers insight into the artist’s philosophy of the impermanence of life. The blend of Lanna architecture and eerie, symbolic art makes this museum a thought-provoking and unique experience
