Bobcock at Wat Rong Khun - Chiang Rai

I've always wanted to visit this temple which is just south of Chiang Rai city.

It's unconventional in the fact that it's all white. It's still under construction as has been for year.

Sadly the weather was awful, to photgraph it best would be a clear blue skied early morning, however i got it in rain and the middle of the day, so the pics are not great, until I started to process some of them in B&W, which made some of them more interesting.

First you enter to see this.....



Then you turn left to enter the main compound, which has ponds and fountains in front of the main ubosot.



As you turn to cross the bridge into the main ubosot you are surrounded my the hands of the tormented reaching up from hell.....I was terrified and have given up all sin since.
