Wat Suan Dok

Wat Suan Dok is a 14th century temple just west of the old city walls in Chiang Mai. It has several unique architectural features, including an unusually large prayer hall that, unlike other temples, has open sides, rather than being fully enclosed. There is also a large standing Buddha image, and the temple is host to regular Monk Chats, where visitors can learn more about Buddhism and the monks have the opportunity to practice their English.
