Wat Suan Dok is a beautiful and historic Buddhist temple located in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Founded in the 14th century, the temple is renowned for its striking white chedi (stupa), which houses the relics of important monks, and its peaceful, expansive grounds. One of the most unique features of Wat Suan Dok is its collection of Lanna-style pagodas, where the ashes of members of the Chiang Mai royal family are interred. The temple is also home to a serene open-air courtyard and a large, beautiful viharn (ordination hall), where visitors can find intricate murals and impressive statues of the Buddha. Wat Suan Dok is particularly famous for being a center of meditation and Buddhist learning, with a monastery that trains monks in the tradition of Theravada Buddhism. Its tranquil atmosphere and rich cultural heritage make it a must-visit destination for those exploring the spiritual heart of Chiang Mai.
