Chuchok is a legendary character who became extremely rich from being a beggar. He is believed to bring wealth and luck, and some Thai Buddhists invite entertainers to dance in front of Chuchok’s statues to thank him for fulfilling their wishes.
The Wat Rong Khun Buddhist and Hindu temple is not hard to miss, considering all of the white, and the reflection in the surrounding water is not too shabby either. Built in 1997 and designed by artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, this unique building is a favorite for tourists.
