Wat Suan Dok

Wat Suan DokWat Suan Dok was built by Phaya Keu Na, the sixth Lanna king, in 1373 to serve as a retreat for a revered monk from Sukothai. The name Suan Dok means field of flowers. The large prayer hall is unusual due to the fact that it is open on the sides instead of enclosed. There are a large number of chedis housing the ashes of the rulers of Chiang Mai. Wat Suan Dok is located on Suthep Road just outside the city walls.
