Wat Rong Khun ( White Temple ), Chiang Rai, Thailand

Wat Rong Khun is a contemporary unconventional Buddhist and Hindu temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand. It was designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat. Construction began in 1997 and is expected to be completed by 2070. 'Only death can stop my dream but can not stop my project,' Chalermchai Kosipipat says.
The temple poised to become one of the most stunningly beautiful in the world. Inside the temple contains the expected statues of Buddha, but it has also included images of Superman, Batman, and Neo from The Matrix who he believes further the Buddhas's message.
