The Blue Temple of Chiang Rai — Rong Suea Ten, architectural masterpiece

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck “The Blue Temple of Chiang Rai — Rong Suea Ten, an Architecture of Faith” ⸻ 🌟 Reviews & Highlights Wat Rong Suea Ten, also known as the “Blue Temple,” is a temple that stands out with its modern Thai design combined with contemporary art. The main highlight is the striking blue-dark blue color scheme of the viharn. Decorated with gold patterns and beautiful sculptures around the viharn, the temple gives the religious complex a lifelike and distinct dimension, unlike any other temple. Inside the viharn, the Phra Phuttha Ratchamongkhon Bodhi Triloknath image is enshrined in pearl white against a striking blue background. The artwork on the walls, pillars, and ceiling are meticulously detailed and captivating. This is perfect for those who appreciate fine art and RAW photography with a wide range of angles. This temple was newly built by Sala Nok (Phutta Kabkaew), a local artist inspired by Ajarn Chalermchai. (Wat Rong Khun's creator) Construction began in 2005 and was completed in 2016. 📍How to Get There/Location • Located in Rim Kok Subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Rai District, along the Kok River on the east bank of the city. • The distance from Chiang Rai city is short — approximately 7-10 km, or about 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic and route. • Public transportation may not provide a direct route. If you don't have a private vehicle, we recommend chartering a car or using a motorbike or rental car to take you to the temple. #WatRongSueaTen #BlueTempleChiangRai #ChiangRaiArt #BlueTemple #TravelNorthThailand #ChiangRaiTempleReview #BuddhistArt #NorthernLandmark #EatTravel #TravelBag
