The Temple of the Dancing Tiger/ Blue Temple

The Blue Temple or Wat Rong Suea Ten is also known as “Temple of the Dancing Tiger” is designed by Putha Kabkaew, a student of the artist who built the White Temple. The story was that before it was built, there was an ancient temple that stood here, and there were tigers that were said to have roamed freely over the grounds when it was abandoned nearly a century ago. Painted with calming cerulean, the Blue Temple is adorned with gleaming gold trim and surrounded by blue and gold statues of magical Buddhist beings and mythological characters. The centerpiece of inside the main temple is a Buddha statue, made from pearly porcelain that seems to manage to look kinda eerie and somewhat blueish in the prayer hall. He sits with one hand pointed to the ground, a representation of the moment he achieved enlightenment. This is a beautiful temple to visit when you are in Chiang Rai too…. And don’t forget to end your visit here with some coconut ice cream!!!! It is just such a perfect and delicious treat on a hot day!!! #bluetemplechiangrai #bluetemple #watrongsueaten #templeofthedancingtiger #chiangrai #amazingthailand #tourismthailand #tourismauthorityofthailand #tatkl #livellifelah
