Wat Suan Dok, located in Chiang Mai, Thailand, is a historic Buddhist temple known for its striking architecture and cultural significance. Originally established in the 14th century, the temple was built on what was once a royal flower garden, hence its name which translates to "Flower Garden Temple." The complex features a large ordination hall (viharn), a golden chedi containing Buddha relics, and a series of whitewashed mausoleums that house the ashes of Chiang Mai's royal family. Wat Suan Dok is also home to the Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University, where monks and novices study Buddhist philosophy and practices.
