Sacred Relics

The Sacred Relics at Suan Dok Temple represent the spiritual heart of Chiang Mai, brought from Sukhothai by the monk Sumana Thera. Legend says that the relics miraculously replicated; one remains enshrined within this golden pagoda, while the other was carried by a white elephant to establish Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. They form a divine link of faith that has blessed the Lanna Kingdom for centuries.
