Wat Rong Khun

Wat Rong Khun (en tailandés: วัดร่องขุ่น) es un templo contemporáneo no convencional Budista e Hinduista. Está en la provincia de Chiang Rai, Tailandia. Fue diseñado por Don Chalermchai Kositpipat y la construcción empezó en 1997. Diseño y Construcción Wat Rong Khun es diferente a cualquier templo de Tailandia por tener un "ubosot" (Pali: uposatha; un tipo de sala de reuniones) La Sala de Reuniones del templo se decoró con color blanco y cristales. El color blanco significa la pureza de Budista; el cristal significa la sabiduría de Buda como la "luz que brilla en el mundo y el universo". Para entrar en el templo hay que cruzar un puente que cruza el canal que lleva a la sala. Los aldeanos de aquí creen que Buda cruzó este puente para predicar el dogma por primera vez. El pequeño semicírculo delante del puente representa a los humanos en el mundo. El círculo grande es la boca de Rahu, un ángel que tenía el cuerpo negro que ahora es el símbolo de la noche del miércoles. Todos los dibujos que están dentro de Sala de Reuniones fueron decorados con oro. En una de las otras salas, el suelo tiene cuatro tipos de animales representando el mundo, el agua, el viento y el fuego. El elefante representa el mundo; el Naga el agua; el cisne el viento y el león el fuego. Historia y construcción En 1996, Don Chalermchai Kositpipat se ofrece a hacer diseños y dibujos de la sala de reuniones del templo porque cree que su obra puede crear interés turístico. Actualmente, El templo de Rong Khun está en proceso de construcción. Según el plan de la construcción tendrá nueve edificios.

Wat Rong Khun

Le Wat Rong Khun (en thaï : วัดร่องขุ่น) est un temple situé à 13 km au sud de Chiang Rai, en Thaïlande, il est communément appelé le temple blanc. Il a été construit par Chalermchai Kositpipat (en thaï : เฉลิมชัย โฆษิตพิพัฒน์), un artiste thaïlandais de renom qui a voulu créer un tribut durable à Rama IX, ancien roi de Thaïlande décédé en 2016, et également honorer sa ville natale. Présentation En rupture avec la plupart des autres temples, celui-ci à une blancheur spectaculaire, pour symboliser la pureté du bouddhisme, celui-ci est incrusté de morceaux de miroir pour refléter la lumière. Pour y accéder, le visiteur doit en premier passer entre deux crocs géants, puis en face ďun lac parsemé de créatures des enfers. Sa construction a débuté 1997. Il devait être achevé en 2008, mais ne s' achève qu'en 2070. L’ensemble comprendra neuf bâtiments, qui constitueront la vision du paradis bouddhiste sur terre telle qu'imaginée par l'artiste. Le financement du temple est assuré par la vente des peintures de celui-ci, exposées et vendues dans un bâtiment annexe ainsi que par les billets d'entrée. Tremblement de terre Le 5 mai 2014, à 18 h 08 (heure locale), le temple est endommagé par un tremblement de terre (en)de magnitude 6,3 sur l'échelle de Richter suivi de nombreuses répliques. Il doit alors fermer indéfiniment et pour son créateur, il doit être démoli pour des raisons de sécurité. Cependant, après une visite d'experts, il apparaît que tous les bâtiments sont structurellement sains. Chalermchai annonce alors qu'il se donne deux ans pour redonner la beauté originelle au temple et que celui-ci sera de nouveau ouvert aux visiteurs.

Wat Rong Khun

Wat Rong Khun (Thai วัดร่องขุ่น), onder buitenlanders beter bekend als de Witte Tempel, is een hedendaagse en onconventionele boeddhistische tempel in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Hij is ontworpen door Chalermchai Kositpipat in 1997. Wat Rong Khun is gebouwd in een witte kleur om de reinheid van Boeddha weer te geven. Met witte mozaïek wordt de wijsheid van Boeddha weerspiegeld. Naar verwachting zal de bouw van het complete tempelcomplex pas rond 2070 volledig afgerond zijn. Het volledige complex zal dan uit negen gebouwen bestaan, waarbij ieder gebouw een eigen betekenis heeft. Bij een aardbeving op 5 mei 2014 met een kracht van 6,3 op de schaal van Richter in het noorden van Thailand raakte Wat Rong Khun zwaar beschadigd. In eerste instantie zou het tempelcomplex blijvend gesloten blijven, maar door een grote hoeveelheid donaties kon de tempel volledig worden hersteld.

Budo–Su-ngai Padi National Park

Budo–Su-ngai Padi National Park (Thai: อุทยานแห่งชาติบูโด-สุไหงปาดี) is a national park in Narathiwat Province, Thailand. It is part of Sankala Khiri mountain range, the southernmost subrange of the Tenasserim Hills. History The area was a haven for guerrillas and few people ventured in to see the natural jungle environment here. However, when the situation improved in 1974, the Royal Forest Department established Pacho Waterfall Park that became Budo–Su-ngai Padi National Park. Geography and climate The park has an area of 341 square kilometres (132 mi2) and covers parts of Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani Provinces. The Budo mountain range is part of the Indo-Malayan equatorial tropical rainforest that has high humidity because of the year-round rainfall that it gets. The park has several waterfalls, such as Phu Wae, Pacho and Pako. The best known and accessible is "Pacho", on a high cliff. The word "pacho" is a Thai adaption/variant of the Malay word pancur meaning "waterfall". Flora and fauna The most distinctive plant is the "golden leaves" or "yandao". This plant was first discovered here in 1988. The vine leaves are gold in colour, similar to a hardwood tree of the genus Bauhinia, but considerably larger. Some leaves are even larger than the palm of a hand. The edges of the leaves are curved throughout, like two connected ovals. The leaves have a soft velvet-like texture. Rare animals in the area are rhinoceros, agile gibbons, tapirs, and Sumatran serows. The most important animal is the spectacled langur that inhabits Southeast Asia, from the south of Myanmar and Thailand all the way to Malaysia and some islands. It lives in high mountains and deep jungles in groups of around 30-40. The strongest male is the leader. The langur is usually shy, afraid of humans and not aggressive like monkeys. Apart from the spectacled langur, there are three other types in Thailand; banded langurs, gray langurs, and northern spectacled langurs. All four species of langurs are endangered mammals.

Bunyawat-Wittayalai-Schule

Die Bunyawat-Wittayalai-Schule (thailändisch โรงเรียนบุญวาทย์วิทยาลัย, RTGS Rongrian Bunyawat Witthayalai) ist die größte Schule der Sekundarstufe in Lampang, Thailand. Sie wurde 1905 als erste öffentliche Schule in dieser Großstadt gegründet. Die vom damaligen Kronprinzen Vajiravudh (dem späteren König Rama VI.) eröffnete Schule trägt den Namen von Bunyawat Wongmanit, der der letzte Fürst von Lampang war. Im Jahr 1931 war das ursprüngliche Schulgelände für die wachsende Schülerzahl zu klein und unzureichend. Das Schulgebäude war zudem baufällig und befand sich in einem Gewerbegebiet. Die Schule wurde daher außerhalb der Stadtmauern (am heutigen Standort der Boonwat Wittayalai Schule) auf ein Gelände von 40 Rai verlegt. Der Umzug fand am 9. August 1931 statt. Bis zum 2025 gab es zahlreiche Erweiterungen und Modernisierungen der Schule. Viele thailändische Persönlichkeiten aus Politik, Kunst und Wissenschaft sind Absolventen dieser Schule, u. a. auch die Schauspielerin Siraphan Wattanajinda und Thirapiroon Thongkamwitoon. 70 % des Unterrichts findet in englischer Sprache statt.

Wat Tuek, Bangkok

Wat Tuek (Thai: วัดตึก, pronounced [wát tɯ̀k]) is a four-way intersection located in Samphanthawong and Chakkrawat Subdistricts of Bangkok's Samphanthawong District, where Yaowarat Road meets Chakkrawat Road. It marks the far end of Yaowarat Road, better known as Bangkok's Chinatown. Yaowarat Road is about 1.5 km (0.93 mi) long and is designated for one-way traffic. Starting from Odeon Circle, the road passes this intersection, crosses Khlong Rop Krung via Bhanubandhu Bridge, and ends at Merry Kings Intersection in front of Wang Burapha, in the Wang Burapha Phirom Subdistrict of Phra Nakhon District. S.A.B. Intersection lies parallel to this point on the Chakkrawat side, and the area is also close to Woeng Nakhon Khasem. The name "Wat Tuek" means "Building Temple" and refers to Wat Chaichana Songkhram, a nearby temple in the Khlong Thom area. This temple was built by Chao Phraya Bodindecha, a nobleman during the reign of King Nangklao (Rama III), after returning victorious from war. Unlike other temples of its time, it was constructed with concrete and featured numerous buildings and structures, which was unusual at the time. This distinctive style led locals to nickname it "Wat Tuek", a name still used informally today. Chakkrawat Road is a short, one-way road about 1 km (0.62 mi) in length. It begins at S.A.B. Intersection, runs southwest through Wat Tuek Intersection, and ends at the foot of Phra Pok Klao Bridge nearby. In addition, in front of the Sang Thong Machinery Limited Partnership building in this area once stood the last tram stop in Bangkok and Thailand. Sadly, it was demolished on March 4, 2019, during the redevelopment of Woeng Nakhon Khasem, also known as the Thieves' Market. References Subaru Yo (2013-03-06).

Thewet Naruemit Bridge

Thewet Naruemit Bridge is a historic bridge spanning Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem in Bangkok, Thailand. Its name also refers to the surrounding area known as Thewet. The bridge connects four subdistricts in two administrative districts of Bangkok: Wat Sam Phraya and Bang Khun Phrom in Phra Nakhon District, and Wachiraphayaban and Dusit in Dusit District. History King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) ordered the Department of Public Works to construct the bridge. The King named it "Thewet Naruemit Bridge". "Thewet" means "great deity" and refers to "The Bridge Built by Hindu's Lord Shiva". When completed King Chulalongkorn gave the opening ceremony on June 30, 1899. It is the first bridge to cross Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem during his reign. The bridge was restored in 1975. It was restored again along with Tha Chang Pier by the Ministry of Transport scheduled for completion May 2021. Surroundings Thewet Market, otherwise known as Thewarat Market, is one of Bangkok's big and busy markets around the bridge. It is very famous, especially as a source of ornamental plants. The market is also well known for selling fish released for merit-making. In the past, it used to be the largest market in the suburbs. Before major wholesale vegetable markets such as Talat Thai and Si Mum Mueang Market were established, some vendors would sail from Suphan Buri to trade here. In November 2023, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) reorganized the vendors' stalls in the market, bringing more order and tidiness to the area. The previously chaotic and congested atmosphere, with goods sprawling onto the walkways, has now been significantly improved. Thewet is also the terminal of many bus lines including (3-5) 23, 3-4E, 33, (2-9) 53, (4-35) 72, (2-25) 516. Thewet Pier (N15) is a station for Chao Phraya Express Boat that runs from Asiatique: The Riverfront to Nonthaburi province north of Bangkok. References

Kasat Suek

Kasat Suek (Thai: กษัตริย์ศึก, pronounced [kā.sàt sɯ̀k]) refers to an intersection and its corresponding bridge on the periphery of Pom Prap Sattru Phai and Pathum Wan Districts, Bangkok. The intersection is also known by the names Bobae Intersection and Yotse Intersection. Characteristics and history Kasat Suek Intersection is a four-way intersection between Rama I, Krung Kasem, and Bamrung Mueang Roads, considered to be the end of Bamrung Mueang and the beginning of Rama I. It takes its name from Kasat Suek Bridge, which is on Rama I Road next to the intersection. Kasat Suek Bridge is composed of two sections—one across the railway tracks from the nearby Bangkok railway station—and the other across from Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem (Phadung Krung Kasem Canal) towards the intersection. Formerly a wooden bridge called "Yotse" (a name that remains more popular than "Kasat Suek" and is still used unofficially today for both the bridge and the surrounding area). The wooden bridge was built in 1906 during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). The name "Yotse" comes from Luang Yotsesavarat (Sin), a nobleman who owned the land and allowed a bridge to be built across his property. In 1928, during the reign of King Prajadhipok (Rama VII), the deteriorated wooden bridge was rebuilt as a reinforced concrete bridge, with the name being officially changed to Kasat Suek. The king presided over the opening ceremony on 6 April 1929. The bridge was also the first overpass in Thailand. "Kasat Suek" translates as 'king of war' and comes from the title Somdet Chaophraya Maha Kasatsuek (สมเด็จเจ้าพระยามหากษัตริย์ศึก), which belonged to King Phutthayotfa Chulalok (Rama I), founder of the Chakri dynasty and namesake of the road the bridge is on, before he became king. It is believed that he had passed through this area while returning from battle. In the past, the intersection was known as the site of a movie theater named "Chaloem Khet" (เฉลิมเขตร์) after Princess Chalermkhetramongmol, Prince Bhanurangsi Savangwongse's youngest daughter. The theater was later demolished, though the name still exists with the alleys in this area being called Soi Chaloem Khet. In 1907, Kasat Suek saw the first bus route in Bangkok (and all of Thailand), developed by Phraya Bhakdi Noraset (Nai Lert), which ran from the bridge along Rama I Road and led up to Pratunam in Pathum Wan District, a distance of about 2.9 km (1.8 mi). The route was not successful, as the vehicle used was a horse-drawn carriage.

Saphan Wan Chat

Chaloem Wan Chat Bridge (Thai: สะพานเฉลิมวันชาติ, RTGS: Saphan Chaloem Wan Chat, pronounced [sā.pʰāːn t͡ɕʰā.lɤ̌ːm wān t͡ɕʰâːt]; lit. 'national day celebration bridge'; usually known simply as Saphan Wan Chat) is both a bridge and a four-way intersection located in the Bang Lamphu area, where the Bowon Niwet and Ban Phan Thom subdistricts of Phra Nakhon district meet. It's not far from Khaosan and Rambuttri roads. The bridge spans Khlong Rop Krung (lit. 'the canal around the city'), also popularly known as Khlong Bang Lamphu, which also marks the historical boundary of Bangkok's old city; crossing the bridge toward the northeast marks the point where one exits Rattanakosin Island. It was built in 1940 by the government of Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram to commemorate Thailand's National Day. The bridge also marks the beginning of Prachathipatai road, which continues northeastward from Dinso road. Phra Sumen road crosses the bridge's southwestern end at the eponymous Saphan Wan Chat intersection. The surrounding area is well known for its many long-running shops selling national flags, royal portrait frames, and various other ceremonial items, as well as for its hostels, restaurants and cafés that serve tourists in a way similar to what is found on nearby Khaosan and Rambuttri roads.
