The Blue Temple / Wat Rong Suea Ten

This temple is also located outside the city, but to the north this time, on the other side of the Mae Kok River. Just like the White Temple, the Blue Temple, or Wat Rong Suea Ten in Thai, has only recently been completed. You have probably guessed it from its name: the Blue Temple is especially famous for… being entirely blue (even inside)! Inside, you can find a large white sitting Buddha statue, tinted with blue reflections depending on the lighting.

Outside, you will also find many blue statues with impressive details, such as the dragons or guards located at the entrance. After the white temple, this is really the place to see in Chiang Rai. The temple is beautiful and the entrance is free.
