Suan Dok Temple
Description:
The Suan Dok Temple is an old Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai known for its large number of white pagodas.
The temple was built in the second half of the XIV century on the place where the royal flower garden was once laid, so the name of the temple in translation means “flower in the temple garden”.
The architecture of the temple is distinguished by a large number of pagodas of different sizes. The highest height is 48 meters. Many pagodas contain Buddha relics.
The walls of the temple are decorated with frescoes depicting scenes of the past lives of the Buddha. In the ordination hall there is a statue of Buddha 5 meters high.
