First time i went to Wat Suan Dok, widely area, I do remember that there the big monarchy that I never seen before. The monarchy is quite difference from general temple monarchy; no wall and window. So there is o­nly the bars surround the monarchy for preventing criminals.

In the past, Prachao Gawilla Period (98 years ago), "Na Chiang Mai" Family moved their "Ku" or "Chedi" that contained ashes of a cremated dead of their forefather from pine trees nearby the Ping River to this temple. And then they donated for Wat Suan Dok every generation. So as we known this temple is temple of "Na Chiang Mai' Family.

Moreover inside this wat, there is English Education Centre for people and also the monks, teaching by both Thai and Europian teachers. It is quite famous as quailiy of study and the cheaper price than every English education centre for Thai people. While each course took time for almost three months.

So we usually see the monks in this temple talk to tourists that who visit the temple with excellent English. They can talk about religion or general story such as the monks give an advice how to pray or how to behave in temple and also tips for travel within Wat Suan Dok or Chiangmai.

More over this place provide the sport filed that everyone can excersice there; playing football, aerobic dancing and etc.
