[Chiang Mai Tourism] The golden pagoda of Wat Suan Dok 🙏

Located on the west side of Chiang Mai, on the outskirts of the old town, Wat Suan Dok is a temple dotted with beautiful golden and historic white pagodas. Built in the 14th century, this temple is an attractive spot where you can experience the Buddhist culture of northern Thailand. Highlights 1. Impressive golden pagoda🕌 (currently under renovation) The golden pagoda that stands in the center of the temple is about 48 meters tall. On sunny days, it shines brightly in the sunlight, overwhelming visitors. It is said that this pagoda was built to house some of the Buddha's remains. 2. Beautiful white stupas🏯 Around the golden pagoda are a row of white stupas (stupas) that enshrine the remains of royal families from the Lanna dynasty. Their orderly arrangement and pure white beauty make it a popular photo spot. 3. Relax in the spacious grounds✨ The name "Suan Dok" means "Temple of Flower Garden", and as the name suggests, it is characterized by its spacious grounds. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll in a quiet atmosphere. 4. You can also interact with monks👨🦲 Wat Suan Dok offers a program called "Monk Chat", where you have the opportunity to talk directly with monks. It is a good opportunity to learn about Thai Buddhist culture and customs. A special time to feel Buddhist culture Wat Suan Dok is a temple that heals the mind not only with its historical background, but also with its magnificent architecture and peaceful space. It is a spot worth visiting on a trip to Chiang Mai! Thank you for reading to the end. I've been there! If you have any other recommended spots! I look forward to your comments.
