Unlike most temples in Chiang Rai, Blue Temple is a recent addition to its collection of exquisite temples. Built in 2005 over the ruins of an ancient shrine, this temple is dedicated to the tigers that inhabited the region once. Wat Rong Seua Ten, known as Blue Temple by outsiders, is an exemplifying blend of modern art and traditional architecture in Chiang Rai.
This architectural gem, officially known as Wat Rong Suea Ten, offers a serene escape into Thai spirituality. For an unforgettable experience, consider exploring this cultural treasure as part of Thailand holiday packages and immerse yourself in the vibrant local culture, and let the Blue Temple be a highlight of your journey through the enchanting landscapes and rich heritage. The intricate designs gracing its facade, roofs, and walls, the contrast created by golden-blue colors, and the brilliantly carved white idols of Buddha are noteworthy.
