Its name, "Wat Suan Dok," translates to "flower garden temple," originating from its construction site, once a Royal flower garden used by the ruler of Chiang Mai. The most striking feature of Wat Suan Dok is its numerous chedis, including the tallest golden chedi standing at 48 meters high, housing the Buddha's relic. Additionally, many smaller white chedis contain the ashes of various generations of the Chiang Mai Royal Family, relocated here at the request of Princess Dara Rasmi in the early 20th century.

By the time it was completed in 1475, during the reign of King Tilokarat, the chedi stood at an impressive height of about 85 meters and a width of 44 meters, making it the largest structure in Chiang Mai at the time. However, disaster struck in 1545 when a massive earthquake severely damaged the chedi, causing approximately 60 meters to collapse from the top.
