Baan Dam Museum beautifully presented the Lanna architecture. The Lanna style roofs are amazing. The black color of the houses have a mysterious effect. The collection of arts are eye catching and the images are unique, quite odd and deep. I am intrigued by the art's message. I think the artist is a genius. When visiting Chiang Rai do not forget to have a look at this museum too.

Thailand Chiang Rai Black Temple h
It is better to say that it is an art museum than a black temple. It houses the collections of art and treasures of Taan Dacani. Most of these works of art are dominated by the skin, corners and large dark tones of the strange beasts.
Whether it is the Bible or the recent "Monsters of the Monster", snakes, crocodiles, etc. are all representative of hell, the embodiment of Satan. So the black temple is naturally called hell.
But I think this place is still quite suitable for taking pictures~

Additional Information
Introduction
Black House, or Baan Dam, was designed and built by contemporary Thai artist Thawan Duchanee over a period of 36 years. Black House is a collection of 40 buildings featuring a number of exhibits related to death and hell, combined with animal bones, hunting tools, antiques and specimens of primitive man, all integrated into various works of modern art. Baan Dam is the complete opposite of the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), a visit to each offering interpretations of heaven and hell, a contrast of good and evil. Some exhibits are still considered controversial.
Baan Dam is Thawan Duchanee's artful portrayal of hell. The opaque decor and dead animals adorning each room make Duchanee's estate.
Ban Daam is a collection of wood buildings featuring works by Thawan Duchanee & other contemporary Thai artist.
This place js absolutely breathtaking. Dark yet beautiful. The site is very large with plenty to see. There are vendors on site that serve colds fruits and drinks. Plenty of great opportunities for great photos.
The architecture is unique, the atmosphere is good, going in the winter will be very good Nov-Mar.
That is the unique creation of national artist, Thawan Duchanee. In Thai, Baan means home or house and Dam mean black. So Baan Dam is sometimes reffered to as the Black Temple. The building decorate mix Thai and Lanna(Thai Northern) stylpe.
