Be Amazed By the Grand Wat Ban Den Temple

The Wat Ban Den located North of the city is one of Chiang Mai's most remarkable temples. All the architectures you find here are recently-built with extremely intricate details. From the scales of the colorful mythical creature statues to the murals carved out of a temple wall, you can see that a lot of money and hard work is spent building this temple.

Although the temple may look new from the outside, it is actually 100 years old due to the endorsement by the 10th King of Thailand followed by the influx of donations from several well-known local celebrities, the temple is expanding rapidly with more over-the-top architecture. If you are bored of seeing ancient architecture in Chiang Mai and would like to see some really over-the-top modern Buddhist architecture, this is the place to be. Wat Ban Den Temple's opening hours are between 7 AM - 6 PM and there is no admission fee.
