The Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten) is the newest temple on the scene in Chiang Rai. it was completed in 2016. The Blue Temple is smaller than its counterparts - the White temple and Black House. Nevertheless it's just as striking, painted in an eye-catching blue with overlays of gold embellishments.The centerpiece inside the great hall, is a huge statue of a White Buddha in sitting position surrounded by contemporary Buddhist art in a modern style. It's psychedelic design bears a striking resemblance to the White Temple and Black House, because it was built by the student of Mr. Chalermchai Kositpipat (the famous Thai artist who built the White Temple). Don't forget to visit the back of the temple where you can find another pagoda and some recently new painted statues. And don't miss the 30THB khao soi nearby at Khao Soi Nam Kao restaurant.
