A WHITE chedi in Thai-Lao architectural style and resting on an octagonal platform – signifying the much-revered Luang Phor Koon Parisuttho’s simplicity, humility, purity and graciousness – will soon be built as a memorial atop his temporary crematorium at Buddhamonton Isan in Khon Kaen’s Muang district.

THE CREMATORIUM for the late, much-revered northeastern monk Luang Phor Koon Parisuttho will be a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, says the man who designed it.
