"I intend to remain a painter for the cause of Buddhism until the last day of my life. Nothing can ever change me or divert me from this course, not fame, nor contempt."(Chalermchai Kositpipat)
(hands reaching out of hell at the beginning of this journey)
Chalermchai built a temple in the northern part of Thailand, a province called Chiang Rai.
The temple is called "Wat Rong Kun" or the white temple. Chalermchai's idea was to make people feel like walking into hell, learning through the way and then walking out of heaven. Everything inside is hand painted. This project started of all with his own money and own raising. Now it is widely known.
