Correction...Not exactly a temple. This is a Thai chedi built for the purpose of a memorial. Most Thai chedis house some sacred relic (such as a bone of Buddha or a revered monk. However this chedi (and one similar to it on a facing hill) have been built for a very unique purpose.
The Royal Thai Air Force has built these two chedis as future memorials to the current King and Queen of Thailand, where their ashes will be placed following their passing.
The architecture is modern (for Thailand) and quite striking.
