Temples of  Thailand - a photographic journey

Wat Suan Dok

Chedi of Wat Suan Dok

Some guidebooks translate the name of this temple with Suan Dork, but I didn't like this form of writing for such a beautiful temple. It is actually on the west side of the city, so we took a taxi from our last temple on the east to this one here.  The temple features a royal cemetery for the remains of the Chiang Mai royal family. The preaching hall is huge and features two Buddha images back-to-back, one standing and one sitting.
