 Wat Rong Khun, Chiang Rai is a contemporary unconventional buddhist and Hindu temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand. It was designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat. Construction began in 1997.

Wat Rong Khun is different from any other temple in Thailand, as its consecrated assembly hall is designed in white with some use of white glass. The white color stands for Buddha's purity while the white glass stands for Buddha's wisdom that "shines brightly all over the Earth and the Universe."
