Lonely Planet review

Phaya Keu Na, the sixth Lanna king, built the Wat Suan Dok temple in a forest grove in 1373 as a place where the visiting Phra Sumana Thera, who was a teaching monk from Sukhothai, could spend in retreat. The large, open wíhǎan was rebuilt in 1932. The bòt contains a 500-year-old bronze Buddha image and vivid jataka (Buddha's past-life stories) murals. Amulets and Buddhist literature printed in English and Thai can be purchased inexpensively in the wíhǎan .
