I've visited (Wat Roong Koon.....or something close to that) several times, the latest visits in November of 2006 and April of 2007.

But it's always enjoyable to periodically stop by to see what is being finished or what new structure is being added. I highly recommend a visit by anybody in the area (it's a few kilometer just south of Chiangrai).
Here's a few shots I took in April - the first being the building behind (west of) the main temple and the other two of one of the local artisans placing decorative glass on a new structure there:
