Chiang Mai, Thailand's Temple of the Dogs


Summary

Experience the Heart of Buddhism and Canine Companionship

At 5 p.m., as rain clouds gathered, I found myself searching for an angel at a Chiang Mai temple. The city's unpredictable rain decided to put on a show, perhaps punishing me for not bringing my umbrella.

Peering through the raindrops at the grand Chedi?"an ancient Lanna-style stupa?"I pondered its 700-year existence without any doors. Seeking shelter, I ruled out the nearby buildings housing eerily lifelike monk statues and ended up in a gazebo with three large Buddha statues. Gradually, several temple dogs joined me for refuge.

I've always carried dog treats, a habit many might question but few understand. As I distributed treats, I noticed one named Lek missing. Soon, she was spotted comfortably nestled in Buddha's arms, perfectly at peace.

Angels of Chedi Luang


Ten years ago, Ajarn Rosocon, a dedicated teacher from Rajabaht University, turned caring for the temple dogs into her mission. This endeavor has transformed Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phan Tau into sanctuaries for stray dogs?"a canine Nirvana in what was once a challenging environment. After Ajarn's unexpected passing, two friends continued her work, with Khun Soonthree recognized as the "Angel of Chedi Luang."

Visiting the Temples


Wat Chedi Luang is more than just historical architecture; it’s a sanctuary for animal lovers. Amid the bustling life of Chiang Mai, it offers quiet escape and a haven for rescued dogs. Each evening at 6 p.m., Khun Soonthree faithfully feeds and cares for the temple dogs, never missing a day regardless of personal hardships.

The temple complex is serene, with lush grounds and convenient amenities. A unique "Monk Chat" area allows visitors to engage with monks, fostering learning and cultural exchange.

Meet the Dogs


For some of us, the temple's dogs are treasures in their own right. Each has a personality?"from Ren and Stumpy, a dynamic duo seeking treats, to Lady, who charms visitors towards an artist’s stall. Friendly Lek steals hearts, especially when sleeping in Buddha's embrace.

The temple is home to about 60 dogs, each with its quirks. From the Golden Boys to Lucy, the Teddy Bear dog, and Scar with her playful puppies, these dogs create a rich tapestry of life at the temple.

How You Can Help


Visiting is a joy, but you can also make a difference. Donations aid in feeding, vaccinating, and caring for these animals. If you're in Thailand, consider adopting a temple to help manage local stray populations.
