::: February 2, 2017 Chiang Rai THAILAND

Here now in this northern city for a few days. This is my second visit here but my first airport arrival. Small airport but a warm greeting.

Chiang Rai’s Golden Clocktower

Designed by Thai artist Chalermchai Khositpipat and unveiled in 2008 in honour of His Majesty the King, Chiang Rai’s elaborate golden clocktower (Hoh Nalika Chalerm Prakiat) is a work of art and tourist attraction in its own right. Chalermchai was the man who built the famous White Temple and that same distinctive architectural style from Wat Rong Khun can be seen again with the clocktower.
