Chiang Mai｜Temple Series: Wat Suan Dok

Wat Suan Dok, built in the beautiful gardens of the 14th-century Lanna Thai Kingdom, is one of the famous temples in Chiang Mai. The temple houses the largest bronze Buddha statue in Thailand and contains the tombs of the Lanna royal family members. The tombs were once located in a large garden, hence the name 'Flower Garden Temple'. Behind the hall, there are various sizes of pagodas, which contain the relics of the Thai king. . Wat Suan Dok is on the way to Doi Suthep and is close to Chiang Mai University and Nimman Road, making it convenient to visit all together.
