As the name suggests, much of the temple is blue, with a striking white porcelain Buddha statue inside the ordination hall. The style of the temple is similar to the White Temple, located to the south of Chiang Rai, in its use of moulded plaster and creative art work. The Blue Temple has become a massively popular tourist attraction in just a few years and we recommend visiting early in the morning to avoid the tour groups. The temple opens early day at 06:00 until 20:00. It\u2019s free to get in and there are no restrictions on visiting the different parts of the temple except the normal rule for temples in Thailand that visitors are not allowed to shorts, short skirts or vests."}]
