Wat Suan Dok

A massive wat

What we say:

Constructed by King Ku Nu in 1383, the bot in this compound contains a huge 500-year-old bronze Buddha image which is surrounded by well-preserved murals depicting Buddha's life. A variety of Buddhist amulets are sold around the wihaan, which was built in 1932.

The whole complex was originally constructed as a garden for the Lanna royal family while it now serves as their graveyard.
