Blue Temple in Chiang Rai | The city's C-position, all blue, bizarre, too impactful

In Chiang Rai, there are 3 temples known for their colors, namely the White Temple, the Blue Temple, and the Black House. The White Temple is holy, the Black House is deep, and the Blue Temple is mysterious, each is unique. The Blue Temple is not large, all in lake blue, too visually impactful‼️ At the entrance of the Blue Temple, there are two huge blue Bodhisattva statues, solemn and majestic. Entering the temple, pagodas, Bodhisattvas, Vajra warriors, auspicious beasts, decorative patterns... all the buildings and decorations are all painted in lake blue, eye-catching. The highly saturated blue is the protagonist of the temple, paired with the contrasting gold, it is even more outstanding. The exquisite carving details are complex and regular, whether at a glance or a close look, they are all like a divine brush, and the whole lake blue atmosphere style makes the Buddha statue more transcendent. Entering the main hall, there is a huge Buddha statue glowing white in the center, and the background is still the deep blue tone, walking in it seems to have the illusion of entering the underwater Dragon Palace. The designer of the Blue Temple is Phutta Karbkaew, a student of Xu Longcai, the designer of the White Temple. He is indeed a high-ranking student of a famous teacher, not only creating a quiet Buddhist world, but also offering art pieces with unique and exquisite shapes such as the twelve zodiac signs. Climb up the Twelve Zodiac Castle, there is also a museum, don't miss it‼️ It's warm here, not cold, suitable for New Year's travel, highly recommended‼️ 🎫Ticket: Free 🚗Transportation: It is recommended to take a taxi or charter a car with BLOT or other software.
