Wat Suan Dok Chedi Panorama February 2013
The large 48 meter high bell shaped chedi - built in a Sri Lankan style - can be seen from far. It used to be white washed stucco as the rest of the temple, but has been gold plated in recent years.The chedi is said to contain a relic of the Buddha. Stairs on all four sides originally led up to the narrow terrace encircling the chedi but these have since been replaced by ramps, the balusters of which are decorated with seven-headed nāgas emerging from the mouths of makaras, as is typical for the classic Lanna style.
