[Wat Rong Suea Ten, Chiang Rai, Thailand] A fantastic blue world to encounter in Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai is famous for the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), but the Blue Temple is just as popular. Its official name is Wat Rong Suea Ten, and it attracts many travelers as a place where you can experience the spiritual and fantastical world of northern Thailand. 👀Highlights✨ When you step inside, a blue universe spreads out before your eyes💫 The biggest feature of the Blue Temple is its architectural beauty, which is colored in vivid blue, as its name suggests. From the exterior to the interior, the contrast of blue and gold is overwhelming, making you feel as if you have wandered into another world. The white Buddha statue enshrined in the center of the hall is translucent and beautiful, and is enveloped in soft blue light. The mysterious atmosphere seems to gently purify the hearts of those who visit🙏 The world of the interior walls colored with unique art🎨 The entire wall of the hall is painted with colorful murals based on Buddhist mythology, and the intricacy and dynamism are so impressive that you can't help but stop and stare. The design, which seems to be a fusion of Thai tradition and modern art, is also perfect for photos📸✨ The dragons (nagas) and heavenly maidens painted everywhere are also very impressive, and you can't miss the details! A new generation temple by young artists🖌️ The Blue Temple is relatively new, with construction beginning in 2005. It was designed by artist Putthai Saraith, a disciple of the White Temple. While preserving tradition, it embodies "temple architecture of the new era" with an original approach. Basic information📝 📍Access: Approximately 3km from the center of Chiang Rai, about 10-15 minutes by car 💰Admission fee: Free 🕰️Opening hours: 7:00-20:00 The Blue Temple is not just a tourist attraction, but a place like a work of art that brings peace and surprise to the soul. If you visit Chiang Rai, it is a must-see attraction along with the White Temple. Why not experience an extraordinary moment in this beautiful blue world? #Thailand #ThailandTrip #AsiaTrip #ThaiSightseeing #ThaiTrip #SoutheastAsiaTrip #ChiangRai #ChiangMaiTrip #ChiangRaiTrip #ChiangRaiTourism #TempleTour #BlueTemple #SoloTrip #SoloTripGirl #AbsolutelyFreeTrip
