Wat Ban Den, Buddhist temple in Mae Taeng District, Thailand.
The temple complex spans across multiple buildings with blue roofs and golden ornaments, featuring traditional Lanna architectural designs and white concrete platforms.
In 1988, Abbott Kru Ba Tuang initiated extensive renovations of the previously deteriorating temple through funds collected from local residents and Buddhist communities.
The complex incorporates twelve pagodas representing zodiac signs, where Thai Buddhists believe spirits reside after death according to their birth sign.
The temple welcomes visitors daily from 7:00 to 18:00 without entrance fees, with recommended visit duration of one to two hours.
Large mythical serpent sculptures called Naga guard the stairways, while white Singha lion figures protect various points throughout the temple grounds.
