Bandaam Museum, also known as Black House or Black Temple, is not a temple, but a museum. Its creator is Thawan Duchanee, a famous Thai artist whose paintings are well-known and valuable in the local area. He built a huge garden-style museum with his own permanent land, covering an area of 320,000 square meters (the rich man's teeth). It consists of a number of Thai Temple halls built in teak. The theme of the museum is hell and death. He spent his whole life collecting a large number of unimaginable exhibits about death and hell, including animal bones thousands of years ago, hunting tools of primitive peoples, various ancient tools, antiques and specimens, and using modern installation art to merge the exhibits into one piece of art. For example, giant seats made of buffalo horns; devil reliefs on ancient wooden boats; wind bells made of air-dried animal skins hanging in the air; giant temple-style exhibition hall with a central height of more than 10 meters, sunlight seeping through the doors and Thai-style wooden windows on both sides, can only illuminate one corner of the dark hall, leaving you with an idea of an infinite Hell in the remaining empty darkness.

    I went to the White Temple in Chiang Rai in the morning. In the afternoon, this is the Black Temple. In fact, it is more like a small complex with many sculptures and other artworks. The theme of these works covers dark elements such as death, hell and so on, and the tone of the works is mainly black, so it is called the Black Temple.

    It took 36 years to design and build by the Thai ghost artist Thawan Duchanee, but it is not a temple, but a museum. The museum has collected a large number of exhibits on death, integrating ancient animal bones, primitive hunting tools, etc. into various artworks. The giant seats of buffalo horns, the devil reliefs on wooden boats, the wind bell device made of animal skins hanging in the middle of the air, etc., give people associations about hell. Around the black temple are a dozen buildings decorated with bull horns, all of the buildings, exhibits, etc. are black as the tone, and are very different from the white temple, showing the difference between heaven and hell.
