At its center lies a small temple where visitors pray, make offerings, and meditate.

The park’s most notable monument is the statue of Ya Mo (Lady Mo), a 19th-century heroine who defended Nakhon Ratchasima from invasion and symbolizes loyalty and courage.

The river flowing through the park adds vitality and is home to wildlife such as Asian water monitors, known locally as the “guardians of the river.”

Suan Rak Park stands as a serene blend of history, faith, and nature, offering visitors a glimpse into the spiritual and cultural heart of Thailand.
