Wat Baan Den, the Blue temple in Chiang Mai.

As Chiang Mai is one of the famous destinations in Thailand instead of Bangkok and Phuket. Chiang Mai is well known among the tourists and visitors as the beautiful nature sites, graceful culture and traditional as well as the lovely people.

For those who loves the temples as well as the old architecture and design. Chiang Mai is the perfect place for you to visit. As we had mentioned about the temples many times. This time also the temple, but it is unique in itself. Wat Baan Den (Baan Den Sri Muang Gan as its full name) is one of the unseen temples in Chiang Mai province. Located on a small hilly area in the north of Chiang Mai city which takes almost an hour and a half to get there. The temple itself could see from a distance and also very sacred temple for the locals in that area. Once when you reach at the parking space, you could see the beautiful buildings of the temple which are beautiful and graceful on the temple ground. There are many different buildings where you could get inside to worship as well as taking photos. So you might be curious why it called Blue temple. This because the temple roof is painted in blue. The local name that the locals called is from the Bodhi trees in the temple. (Bodhi tree is called “Ton Sali in the dialect.) Then no wonder why we called this temple “Baan Den Sali Sri Muang Gan”.

As this temple located in the north side of Chiang Mai area which means you could combine the trip or your visit with some other sited to fulfill your trip or your visit as well as continue to visit Chiang Rai province because the road could lead you to Chiang Rai and there are many sites for you to visit. We hope this would be a small extra tip for you to plan the trip while visiting in the north for your good experiences and good memory.
