Photographers' beloved temple is even more beautiful under the sunset - Wat Suan Dok

🌵Hello, I am Anson~ I love to eat, play, and travel, One must be on the road, either physically or spiritually! ・ If you're heading to Suthep Mountain, you'll inevitably pass by Wat Suan Dok, a famous Buddhist temple built in the 14th century in the beautiful gardens of the Lanna Thai dynasty. The temple houses the largest bronze Buddha statue in Thailand, and the other buildings are also very magnificent. The main hall has a three-tiered roof, and behind it are large and small stupas. According to the guide, the stupas contain the ashes of several Thai kings, hence it is also known as the 'Thirteen Tombs' of Thailand. The huge bell-shaped stupa in the temple is very similar to those from the Sukhothai period and commemorates the famous monk Mahathera Sumana, who is said to have come to Chiang Mai from Sri Lanka to teach and once lived here. Photographers are very fond of Wat Suan Dok because it is particularly enchanting at sunset. Tip: Every year on April 13-14, a large religious festival is held here. For locals, there is no entrance fee, but foreigners need to pay to enter the temple, which is 20 Thai Baht per person, approximately 4 RMB per person. ✍|Other Information ________________ 📍Address: Suthep Road, west of the Old City, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand 📸enson ・ 📚Follow me to travel around the world🌍
