In the smooky day of March 25th 2010, we were in Chiang rai, northern Thailand and amazed by the Golden clock tower with the beautiful Thai architecture. We were told that the clock tower is designed by Ajarn Chaloemchai kositpipat; the most famous artist in Chiangrai, the same artist who built the White Temple, Wat Rong Kun. The tower is build in 2008 in honour to the king, his majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The tower is located in the heart of the city, just few minutes from night bazzar market and attract to many tourist and local visitors. Though we did not stay over night in Chiang Rai, we were told that there is amazing light show start from 7pm onwards which changes different lighting for the first ten minutes of every hours and attract a large number of viewers every night. And we took some photos and short video as below:

Ajarn Chaloemchai kositpipat is not only the most famous artist in Chiangrai, but nationally and internationally well known. He is the son of Chiangrai. He built the White Temple and the clock tower with his own funds.
Again he made the city of Chiangrai into another tourist attraction – the unique clock tower.
Hi Eric, you are right and we have heard about how he is popular, (especially his architech) and we also have been to White Temple that he build too.
We may write a post about White Temple soon.
