Nakhon Ratchasima - Wat Sutthachinda

Beautiful gardens surround Wat Sutthachinda. The small wiharn guarded by two bronze lions and the dainty bell tower are particularly charming. Of note are the wiharn's richly decorated gable and the elaborately carved windows on either side of the shrine. The well-proportioned wiharn contains three statues of Buddha, crowned with five-storied canopies. The largest of the statues shows the gestures of forgiveness, one of Buddha's five classical positions.

Next to the temple is a crematorium, where cremations are carried out according to Buddhist rites.
