In March my wife and I stopped in to see this beautiful wat.
We were able to walk around on the grounds and get some pictures.
It was very impressive. I hope they can repair the damage caused by the
earth quake, as it is one of the places I would go back to see inside in the
future.

Re: Wat Rong Khun North Thailand
First reports after the earthquake were that the owner/designer/builder was not going to rebuild it. I think a bit of depression mixed with age setting in. I think it took 18 years of his life the first time around. 48 hours later he changed his mind and now says he will rebuild/repair, with no help from the government. Apparently he is quite wealthy and has the financial means to do it all himself.
If him, I would be afraid of future quakes undoing it all once again. Perhaps he can incorporate some extra supports in the repair to help against future quakes. Pete
