Chiang Rai Temple


We saw many buddist temples on this trip but none of them were quite like this one. This temple was built by a local artist that promised once he became famous he would build his city a temple. Well he kept his promise and it is the most artistic temple we saw! Crossing that bridge behind Barb is supposed to signify crossing over hell and then into the temple is heaven. There are white hands reaching up from hell hoping to be rescued from their doom! Kind of crazy!
