Black Temple (Baan Dum) in Thailand – Livestock or art?

The black house in common is called the Black Temple (Black Temple), apparently affects the presence of a nearby White Temple, so say for contrast. So Black, after all it is the house or the museum, as you like, because they do not go there to pray, and there are no monks there. It’s rather an art gallery created by one person. (Tavan Duchani), let the buildings look like Thai temples.

When I went there, for some reason I thought that there was almost nothing there, literally 1-2 buildings with certain attributes and that’s it. In fact, this is a decent territory that continues to be built, and the museum’s collection is filled with new pieces of art, well, if it can be called art. I am afraid that animal advocates sight not like it, but some Satanists On the contrary, they will be delighted.

Black temple in thailand

As I understand it, the author’s goal was to show Hell what he was like it represents, well, or something like that. The idea is not new, there is already the temple of Hell and Paradise, and more frank than Baan Dam, so in Thai is called Black House. I personally have a feeling of hell not there appeared rather some kind of exhibition center selling skins and horns and hooves, as well as stylized furniture. Apparently because, the collection duplicated, almost everywhere the same thing: then a dozen chairs, arranged in a circle, then the skins of animals scattered around the room, then in some closed buildings everything is in a pile lying around. And the workers on backyard continue tinkering similar items.

In addition to Thai motifs, there are alien. From afar it seems that the spacecraft has landed, and you are getting closer the building begins to resemble a dug submarine. What about it really, nobody knows, except the author. Perhaps through some time the pavilion will open and become clearer. Probably, inside are the same gutted carcasses. Or maybe it will be prepared green men?

Surely, not everyone will have to visit the Black Temple / House. to taste. However, what I saw did not cause any rejection. Rather, on the contrary, it is interesting to look at something unusual. AT a series of identical temples, I want to see some other look, in order to dilute the familiar Buddhist atmosphere. On the other hand, if they want to return to ordinary temples or national parks, here is unlikely. One time is enough.

Anticipating some exclamations about the slaughter, I want to say – guys, you first stop eating meat, and only then talk about how sorry you are animals. Especially, cat and dog lovers love resent though cows or pigs going for their consumption sausages, no less alive than cats and dogs. I personally no longer such double standards are understandable (it’s a pity for the cat, there is no cow), than the creation of such art galleries. Maybe therefore, no negative emotions when visiting any museums with stuffed animals and Zoos, I do not feel, this is the world, the way it is.

Before leaving, you can go to the pavilion at the parking and buy yourself something home to remember. Some objects are completely harmless, others repeat the theme of the Black Temple.

Information to visit

The entrance is free.

Opening hours: every day from 9.00 to 17.00, and from 12 to 13 break. And even though the territory is not fenced, they are not allowed there outside this time, the guards stand around the perimeter with guns (joke).

In Chiang Rai, a good night to not rush. Can see a little city itself, its central part and visit several sights. It’s nice to put all this into a whole. Travel to the north of Thailand.

I somehow stayed in quite cheap gueste Baan Nukanong Guesthouse (my review), but it is very simple, I do not know who will suit. I think it makes sense to look at something else and book in advance. The easiest way to search for hotels on RoomGuru, there are all the discounts and the most complete database of hotels. Well, and you will book further in either Bucking or in Agoda, that will offer.

Hotels in Chiang Rai →

Here are a couple of hotels that I have noticed for myself for the next one. Trips: Sirin Place Boutique and Nice Inn Town Hotel and Apartments. Both in the center, with a high rating, quite inexpensive. Nice Inn Town is generally very cool deluxes and superyrory (with kitchen). Prices North, of course, very pleased. All 2 times cheaper than in the south resorts. Use!

Located north of Chiang Rai. On a bike or car ride for about 15 minutes from the city. There is a pointer from the road, but you can still get confused a little in the alleys.
