Wat Suan Dok, Buddhist temple in Suthep, Thailand
The temple features a central Sinhalese-style chedi surrounded by white mausoleums containing royal family remains and an ordination hall with murals.
King Kue Na of Lanna Kingdom established the temple in 1373 to house a Buddha relic brought from Sukhothai by monk Sumana Thera.
The temple maintains a meditation center where Buddhist monks teach traditional practices and engage in discussions with visitors about Thai Buddhism.
The temple opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, requiring visitors to wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees when entering religious buildings.
The main Buddha statue, Phra Chao Kao Tue, weighs 126,000 kilograms and measures 4.70 meters in height, created using bronze in 1504.
