    Wat Suan Tarn

    Aged 600 years old, Wat Suan Tarn has been a part of Nan town since BE 1955. Wat Suan Tarn can be found outside the walls of Nan town. It rests on what used to be a sugarcane plantation, and faces north.

    Inside the temple, you will find a bronze Buddha known as ‘Phra Chao Tong Thip’. The Buddha image measures 10 feet wide and 14 feet 4 inches tall, and is in sitting position. It was built in BE 1993 by the ruler of Chiang Mai at the time, to celebrate his victory over capturing Nan town. From then until now, every year during the April Songkran festival, the villagers will have a ceremony to douse the Buddha image as a sign of respect and for merit.

    Near the large temple hall is a sanctuary that houses another Buddha. This Buddha, also in sitting form, is the first one found in the northeast. 5 other deities surround the image. People come from far and wide to pray and worship the Buddha here.

    Behind the sanctuary is a pagoda that once had Sukhothai architecture. The ruler of Nan had it rebuilt in BE 2547 to change its look.

    • จุดด้อย:
    • The location of the temple is quite far as compared to other temples located in town. A private car makes it easier to get there, or else you’ll have to take public transpotation.
