[Wat Suan Dok] Discover the most beautiful Buddha statue in Chiang Mai!

What is Wat Suan Dok? This temple translates to "Temple of Flower Garden" in Japanese. The name comes from the fact that the temple was built in the place where the gardens of the Lanna Royal Palace once stood. 🔍Highlights ①The pure white pagoda (third photo) When you enter the temple grounds, you will see various sizes of pure white pagodas. It is said that the ashes of the royal family are stored here. There are many gold-plated temples in Thailand, so this pure white pagoda is very impressive.

It costs 20 baht to enter the temple, but it is worth a visit. The temple is spacious, and a huge Buddha statue is enshrined there.

Here you will find the "most beautiful Buddha statue in Chiang Mai." (last photo) Originally, this Buddha statue was meant to be placed in the main hall of "Wat Phra Singh, but when it was completed, it was too large and heavy to move, so the main hall was built here, according to the explanation. The quiet and solemn atmosphere made my heart feel at peace. I also just happened to drop by without doing any research, so I was impressed that I could see such wonderful Buddha statues and decorations. It was around 4pm in the evening, and there were only monks and me. In particular, ③ is far from the temple, so many tourists don't know about it or don't notice it.
