Wat Suan Dok

A very beautiful place. Everything is posted in Thai and English, often with QR codes for more info. A short ride from Chiang Mai. Very educational. There is a gorgeous "graveyard" for damaged Buddha statues (which cannot be discarded) which includes very old statues from abandoned temples in Thailand. There are also a lot of chickens all over the place and a GIANT pond full of all manner of fish, turtles, and who knows what else. It costs 20 baht to visit the temple and you must dress modestly.

It’s a lovely temple with many white stupas that hold the ashes of Chiang Mai royals. I do wish there were more information available in English, though I noticed this is something generally lacking at temples here. The inside of the temple, especially when visited in the evening, was particularly beautiful and very peaceful. Entrance to the main hall is 20 baht, but none of the monks wanted to take the money. Maybe because it was the last day of the year, but I’m not sure.

I went in the afternoon, and there was hardly anyone there, which was great. I took a peaceful and pleasant stroll around the place, and I really liked the large temple. It's a very nice temple to visit. To enter and take a picture with the Buddha, you have to pay 20 baht, but the experience was beautiful. You can walk there from the city center. 100%recomend
