About

Built on the site of an abandoned older temple and completed in the 2010s, the temple was designed by a pupil of Chalermchai Kositpipat. Its hall is painted in intense blues with gold detailing, and it houses a serene white Buddha image, guarded outside by sculpted serpents.

Best time to go: Visit in the morning, when the light brings out the deep blue interior most vividly.
