Bush and bin Laden on a rocket ship Chiang Rai

in Chiang Rai there is a temple called the white temple. It was designed not only for religious purposes but also as a collection of Buddhist ideas and symbolism to enchant people visiting the complex. It was designed by a very famous artist in Thailand who even created a painting of George Bush Junior with Osama bin Laden on a rocket going somewhere into outer space so you know this guy has quite a sense of……… Something. I won’t go into detail on that temple itself since that can be better done by a couple links I have here. I want to show you the photos.

always adding new sculptures

some symbolism I recognized
my wish was, “I wish I had this wishing well”. It’s a real moneymaker
even the caution markers contain symbolisms
