4.5Wat Nong Bua(56 reviews) - Excellent Temple Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
Very seldom that such a beautiful temple in a perfect surrounding and well loved by the local residences can be found. Wat Ban Nong Bua is such a temple. Located some distance from Nan toward the direction of Pua, this temple is hidden in the small town of Tha Wang Pha. The temple has a generous parking area in front of the temple. Before you enter the temple, you will hear local music being played by local musician to welcome you. The temple ground is well landscaped and maintain. The main temple wall has the similar paintings from the same era as Wat Ming Muang in Nan. Behind the temple, there is a small gift shop manned by locals that are anxious to meet visitors than simply to sell their merchandise. This is an excellent temple not to be missed.See more..
It is true what the reviewers said that it is not a village etc. Still I found it interesting to see the traditional house and the weaving technique. The people were lovely and took us into the house and showed us about the life style and work.See more..
5.0Wat Si Mongkhon (Wat Kong)(4 reviews) - Piety - and fun too Points of Interest & Landmarks • Lookouts • Religious Sites
We really enjoyed the visit to this monastery. There's a lot to see apart from the fine Buddha statue in the ordination hall. In the spacious grounds you can play at see saw made from old wagon wheels, sit on wooden carved motor scooters, admire life size black elephants (and an ancient cannon) and visit the museum on two floors where, apart from finding ancient radio sets and Walkmans are a particularly fine Buddha statue, a goddess of mercy and a life like waxwork monk. Lots of photo opportunities and grownups and children will love the place . I recommend 1 - 2 hours. You can also buy reasonably priced refreshments.See more..
