Wat Pak Nam Khaem Nu is a beautiful Buddhist temple, also known as the Blue Temple due to its entirely blue and white decoration. It has become a must-see for visitors to Chanthaburi province. Built in 1946, the temple was recently adorned with these iconic blue and white motifs. The exterior, statues, roofs, and even the staircases are decorated with blue porcelain, giving the temple an almost surreal atmosphere, especially on clear days when the temple's blue blends seamlessly with the sky. It's a unique design in Thailand (but one that will surely be imitated). Visit the temple in the morning or late afternoon to take advantage of the beautiful light for your photos. Combine your visit with a trip to the nearby beach or a visit to Laem Singh for a relaxing day in the region.

No entrance fee. Opening hours: The temple is open daily from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm.

The temple is located in the Na Yai Am district, about 20 km south of Chanthaburi city, near the coast. It is also very close to Laem Sing beach. There is no public transport to get there.
