MUST VISIT: One of the most visually stunning (and weirdest) Buddhist sites I've seen in Southeast Asia. Try to go here early in the morning or late in the afternoon (before 5 PM) to avoid the crowd.
Beautiful especially from a distance, all white and glittering as the pieces of mosaic mirrors reflect the sunlight. Worth a visit en route to Chiangrai.
Inside the main hall: On the wall facing the Buddha image, try look for famous characters like Doraemon, Sailor Moon, Spider Man, etc hidden in the wall painting. Each wall took 2-3 yrs to complete!
Very beautiful place, more beautiful from the outside than inside. Mind the gruesome details of hands and skeletons when walking over the stairs. Must-visit!
In 1997, Artist Chalermchai Kositpipat designed, financed and constructed this remarkable Buddhist temple. Millions of people from all over the world came to visit the temple and the private museum.
