What places to visit in Nan?

Must-visit places in Nan

Wat Phumin

วัดภูมินทร์

---

My opinion :

It is the most important temple in Nan? It houses murals among the most beautiful in Thailand and probably the most famous mural painting in the country that also became the emblem of Nan city. A must see when you visit to Nan!

Wat Ming Muang

วัดพระบาทมิ่งเมือง

---

My opinion :

Completely white, this temple is surprising even if it is very modest compared to the beautiful White Temple in Chiang Rai. 2 minutes walk from Wat Phumin , take the time to pay him a visit.

Wat Sri Panton

วัดศรีพันต้น

---

My opinion :

This fully golden temple is the second monochrome temple in Nan. It is located just a few minutes walk from Nan white temple.

Wat Phra That Khao Noi

วัดพระธาตุเขาน้อย

---

My opinion :

Do not miss it when you come to Nan! Especially at sunset. The sight of the golden image of Buddha walking with the valley, the mountains and Nan city below is just amazing !

Chicken coop spa

สปาสุมไก่

---

My opinion :

If you are looking for something surprising and relaxing near Nan, this place is for you ! Located in a small local community 15 kilometers from the city, this spa has strange little saunas, the sum gai spas. There are very few places in Thailand that offer it but it's becoming more and more popular because it's nice and it makes funny souvenir pictures.

Ban Sao Luang weaving village

บ้านซาวหลวง

---

My opinion :

This small village 20 kilometers from Nan has several weaving workshops including a large one that can be visited to see the tedious work on the looms. And of course, you can buy local craft production.

Ban Bo Suak Community

Located 10 kilometers from Nan city, this small village is known for its ancient pottery kilns. You can see them, visit a small museum and see a potter working but the visit may be a little frustrating because no one speaks English there. So add it to a trip to other places but do not come here just for that.
