This is a truly beautiful, amazing and different one among all of the temples in Thailand. The temple is decorated with a white glass background. The principal Buddha image in the hall and buildings around are designed by the master craftsmen themselves, beautiful, unusual, very interesting mural paintings on the walls.
The Black House (Baandam) is being built and designed by the Thai National Artist Thawan Duchanee. There are around 30 Black Houses at present and the intention is to build 42 in all at least at present. The buildings are in a variety of styles, but most have been made with the color black predominant, even the few white buildings only serve to highlight the black doors and windows. Inside most of them, whether open or closed, are arranged various artifacts, so that the whole acts as a museum.But it is a museum with a difference, as many of the objects are related to death or dying. There are skulls and skeletons, skins and broken eggs and there are some more traditional demons and gargoyles too. There is also, to be fair, some grand scene carving, some furniture and other collectors' pieces.
The Blue Temple is the most unique and colorful temple in Thailand so far. It is quiet and serene. The buildings are blue like a blue sky . That 's one of the most amazing temples in Chiangrai province. There are beautiful paintings on the walls and a big white Buddha inside the main building.
