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.
