The Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple) in Chiang Rai is definitely the most outstanding building that I have ever visited. From the immense sculpted detail that surrounds the temple, to the stunning paint work within, this building is guaranteed to blow your mind!

Why did I post this though? Well, several months ago word spread the internet that the temple had been damaged beyond repair in an earthquake. The extremes of this claim were later exposed as completely false. How can we trust the validity of the internet? – Hey that sounds familiar… shout out to Angus Strachan for posing such a question to the symposium board today, it did cause quite a stir.
