It was designed and built by Thai Chinese artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. The White Temple in Chiang Rai was built in 1998. Because the temple is plain white and is carved with various gorgeous white dragon patterns, it has become a unique building that breaks through the traditional Thai temples and has attracted many tourists to take photos and check in. The designer Xu Longcai hopes to perfectly integrate Buddhism and art through the White Temple. The color white is chosen to symbolize the purity of the Buddha and the wisdom of the Buddha that illuminates the universe.
