The Long Poo is well know in Chiang Rai

This is one of the well known temple where the Long Poo contributed a lot of love, time and well fare to the people at Chiang rai, and also call a Lucky long poo.. he first built the temple followed by a hospital that look like a ship.. I could said I’m lucky to get to see him when I arrived the temple, initially, I am curious a big groups of people waiting outside a small room, I asked one of the staffs where can I see a monk, I want to do some Tamboon which is also known as contributing to the monks and the death from a poor families, he directed me to the small room, I have mentioned above.. people is like lining up for buying a limited edition hello kitty or waiting for Cristiano Ronaldo signature.. hence, i decided to wait. When come to near my turn and I’m the only foreigner, I could see him not in the rush to reply and bless the netizens. Come to my turn, I don’t know how to speak Thai, I used google translate to support me, without talking much, the long poo ordered one of his help to bring what I needed and I am called to wait outside for a while, I thought I said something unpleasant.. mins later I was given a white envelope and a monk saris and re queues for my turn.. when is my turn, I was shocked that he know how to speak English and prayed a prayer and blessed me, by saying what u did is right and want me to keep contributing to the needy. After see him, I went to google and found out that he also contributed a lot of things to the society in Chiang rai.. and he age is not young already, but he don’t look at his age.. in addition, this temple become one of the must go places in Chiang rai as it have a beautiful structure which took a very long time to planned and constructed by this Long Poo. I think if u planned to go to Chiang Rai, I will advise u to rent a car to drive a round rather than just book a tour and bring u to places that they(drivers) can earned benefits from. On the trip, I used the trip.com apps to support me to plan my route at Chiang rai.. I also went to Blue and white temples as well as the hot spring wells.. I still recommended this iconic temples to give u a peace and fulfilment after returning to your country.. u will never regret for going..#Wat Huay p#Wat Huay pla Kang, white temple and blue temple..

Discovering Chiang Rai’s Blue Temple

🔷✨ The Blue Temple in Chiang Rai is a mesmerizing oasis of tranquility and spiritual splendor. As I crossed the threshold of this architectural gem, I was immediately captivated by the ethereal blue hues that adorned every intricate detail, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The exterior, adorned with delicate carvings and shimmering blue mosaic tiles, set the tone for the celestial beauty that awaited within. The temple's design seamlessly blends traditional Thai and contemporary artistic elements, creating a sanctuary that feels both timeless and modern. Stepping into the main hall, I was greeted by the resplendent sight of a majestic white Buddha bathed in a soft, celestial blue glow. The interplay of light and color created an aura of serenity, inviting contemplation and inner peace. The walls adorned with vibrant murals depicting celestial scenes added to the temple's allure. The meticulous attention to detail extended to the surrounding structures, including the library and prayer halls. Each element, from the ornate windows to the intricately carved dragons guarding the entrance, spoke to the dedication and craftsmanship that went into creating this sacred space. The courtyard, adorned with sculptures and lush greenery, provided a peaceful setting for reflection. As sunlight filtered through the blue-tinted windows, it cast a gentle glow, enhancing the spiritual ambiance of the entire temple complex. Climbing the stairs to the elevated terrace offered a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, with the temple's blue and gold facade contrasting against the clear skies. It was a moment of pure awe, a visual symphony that celebrated both the earthly and the divine. Leaving the Blue Temple, I carried with me a profound sense of tranquility and wonder. This sacred haven is not just a monument; it's a testament to the harmonious intersection of art, spirituality, and nature.

Wat Rong Suea Ten (Blue Temple)

Another architectural marvel here is Chiang Rai. Beautiful structure and outstanding craftsmanship say it all. I was super impressed with the dragons guarding the main temple. The area is smaller compared to the White Temple, but it’s good to come early if you want to avoid the crowd. We reached early morning and were happy (peacefully got the pictures). And please do try the ice cream with pea-flower sticky rice, served at the shops adjacent to the temple. #weekendgetaways
