The Buddha Pavilion of Suan Sunandha, an octagonal pavilion, symbolizes both the Eightfold Path and the eight royal family members who once resided at Suan Sunandha Palace. Stained glass windows, each bearing a royal family member's personal emblem, decorate the roof's eight sides.
Inside, a 58-inch wide, bronze Chiang Saen Buddha image, over 100 years old, houses the relics of nine Buddhas. This Buddha statue was originally rust-green but underwent repair, relacquering, and gilding to enhance appearance.
