The must-see of nan. Probably a place you should visit if you're into cultural or historical or even spiritual sight seeing. It's not super busy and across the street you can get on a tram tour to see the city.

Amazing Wat Phumin. If you arrived there this place is not too huge but you can walk around every where and many interesting areas such as museums and temples around. Spend a few more hours to embrace the local famous areas. Lovely city.

Center of Nan. Walking Street is also located on the same street as this temple. Beautiful painting and well maintained. Highly recommend if you visit Nan!

The paintings in Wat Phra Phimai in Nan Province are believed to date back to the late 19th century to early 20th century, during the Rattanakosin period of Thai history. These murals reflect traditional Lanna and Tai Lü artistic styles, which are prominent in the Nan region. Features of the Murals: 1. Stories Depicted: The murals primarily portray scenes from the Jataka tales (stories of the Buddha’s previous lives) and local interpretations of Buddhist cosmology. 2. Artistic Style: The artwork is characterized by the Lanna style, with rich, earthy tones and intricate details. This style blends religious symbolism with elements of daily life, showcasing the cultural and spiritual values of the period. 3. Preservation: While some parts of the paintings have deteriorated over time, efforts have been made to preserve them due to their historical and artistic characteristics.

Buddhist Temple of Nan Province in Thailand. It is beautiful.

War Phumin is famous for the painting of a man and a woman whispering love.

Wat Phumin has Nan’s famous wall painting of whispering couple, hence, also known as the temple of whispering lovers. We were lucky to have two young girls explaining in their native language about the history of the temple. The unique architecture of the temple gives the feeling that the entire temple is riding the back of two giant dragons (nagas). Locals believe that if a couple would like to have a long lasting couple life, they got to come in front of this famous work of art and pay homage to the Buddha image.

The outer apperance kinda make me expect the details that goes into the temple. However the etails on the painting were not really finely craft and there arent much to do except enjoying the main building. I'd say drop by if you have time, but if your schedule is pack then you can also skip this place

Wat Si Phan Ton in Nan stands out with its fully golden ordination hall that gleams beautifully in the sunlight. The intricate stucco designs reflect Lanna artistry and deep local faith. Peaceful and serene, it’s perfect for prayer, meditation, and cultural appreciation.

Interesting, less well visited wat. Worth a visit for the fantastic paintings in the main temple. Wat Si Phan Ton is believed to date back to the early days of the Lanna Kingdom’s influence in Nan. it was built to serve as a community temple for locals during a period when Nan was an important cultural and trade center. WAT SRIPANTON This temple has been built during 1960 - 1969 C.E. Period under the patronage of Phrayapanton - the ruler of Nan Kingdom of Phuka Dynasty. Wat Sripanton was previously called Wat Saleepanton; The word "Salee" means The Bhodi tree. In the past there was a big Bhodi tree located on the North an South of the temple. Now the two trees Were cut off for constructing the road. Wat Sripanton was accepted as an official temple and ceremony of Thailand on 2505 B.E..

Visit 29/3/2019. Great Wat to visit. I usually don't like single colour Temples but the gold really sets this off. Inside you can view the artwork paintings on the walls.

The wood carving art at Sri Pan Ton Temple is magnificent. The glittering golden temple is located on the crossroads at the main tourist attractions in the heart of Nan province. It's worth a visit.

The temple is decorated with gold colour. The decoration is splendid. The mural inside the temple tells the story of Nan. This temple is in a walking distance from the city pilar. Take your time to admire the delicacy of the art.

The setting is not great as it is on the corner of a busy intersection but Wat Sri Panthon is a must see when in the city of Nan. The detail of the carvings is amazing. If you cannot be in Nan during the long boat races, you can see some of them in this temple.

Serene temple on hill. You may drive up to the temple or park your car and climb up the stairs. I suggest to take the stairs as you’ll experience different vibes and work out as well. Just a little bit upset as the Buddha statue was under maintenance when I visited the temple. You can enjoy the view of Nan city from here. Suggest to visit here around sunset time as you can take stunning photos. The Chedi is beautiful.

Definitely worth the climb for the amazing view at the top and a very peaceful temple

A great serene place to have bird eye view of Nan, including the mountains nearby.

Always a great Wat to visit. This is especially so if you are a photographer. The golden Buddha is especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset.. The Buddha with the vista of Nan in the background is stunning. Allow plenty of time before and after the sunset/sunrise as the sky color changes just keep on giving. Also look at all the other beautiful structures in the precincts of the Wat. Highly recommend a visit.

Just a short drive up the hill from the main road. Good view of Nan from the top.

the temple is located at the top of a hill to the west of the city (about 7 minutes and 3.2km from Nan National Museum).  Very nice view of the valley and the city.  As the view is to the east, the best time is to come in the late afternoon.  Access by car with parking at the top but it is also possible to stop halfway up the hill and climb the stairs for the more athletic.  We arrived around 5:30 p.m. and the sun was already very low in the west with low light over the valley.

No luck on me. I’ve to this place many times and the view point is good. You can see Nan city and stunning Buddha statue together. This time it was raining like crazy. I couldn’t see anything but still enjoying the scenery. Don’t forget to take the stairs. You will tried for sure but it absolutely worth it to slow enjoy the journey and rewarded by stunning view.

This is where the city pillar located, the temple is decorated in white, and the structure is hugely amazing, all the status and surrounding are painted in white. We visited in the late afternoon, the temple has car parking area for free, many people come by to worship the Buddha then walk down to the streets to visit the close by area. Nice 👍

Beautiful Temple, near the city-center of Nan. The Temple grounds are not large, however, it is the different buildings and the intricate detail found inside, and outside, that are particularly interesting, and quite beautiful. Though small, it is very beautiful and, when set against the deep blue sky of Nan in its temperate weather, it is a very enriching cultural experience.

We came here to visit with friends on our way to the Airport after spending some time up in the mountains with them - this temple is beautiful. The lady thought we are coming to pray so she started trying to give us envelopes for donations and all, but since we understood Thai, we just told her we are visiting only and then all was good. There's so many beautiful buildings and sculptures here to check out and its definitely worth a visit!

small but a unique WHITE TEMPLE, very few in Thailand. it went through serious remodelling in recent decades, all the architectures were incredibly detailed, from outside to inside were nicely decorated with sculptures and wall murals. the golden city pillar was also located at the front of the main temple. inside the temple, the Buddha image was the highlight, the entire setting was a piece of respected and a beautiful religious art.

Right in the town centre, with an unprepossessing entrance, it might be easy to walk straight past. Reminiscent of the White Temple in Chiang Rai, the ornate interior is outstanding. Overall, very compact site, but make sure you don't miss it.

What a splendid architecture and craftsmanship! It's worth a visit, worth spending time exploring the beauty of art and culture of Northern Thailand that is often associated with Buddhism.

This is where the city pilar is placed. The temple is one of the best decorated. The entire complexe is coloured white. Take your time to admire the complex both inside and outside.

Such beautiful and magnificent piece of artwork with a fantastic geographical location. Noticed continuous influx of visitors who quickly hop in, pay their respects and leave very quickly. Most visitors, if not all, take selfies and photos at the main entrance (open gate) to the temple. Car parking is available and free. Many shops around the temple offer visitors a variety of products ranging from clothing, souvenirs, lottery tickets, Silverware, food and drinks and many other things. Very beautiful, spacious, peaceful and serene. It is in immaculate condition for a 14th century temple. Must visit if nearby.

Temple and pagoda featuring rabbits. have free parking. and some souvenirs shops.

Located on a hill just across the Nan River from the city of Nan, Wat Phra That Chae Haeng is one of the most important and revered temples in Northern Thailand. This sacred site, believed to be over 600 years old, houses a relic of the Buddha and is considered the spiritual heart of Nan Province. The highlight of the temple is its stunning golden chedi (stupa), built in the classic Lanna style, which glows beautifully in the sunlight and can be seen from afar. The peaceful atmosphere, intricate architecture, and surrounding trees make it a perfect place for quiet reflection or cultural exploration. The temple complex also features a beautifully restored viharn (prayer hall), ancient Buddha images, and murals depicting local legends. Locals often come to make merit, and visitors are welcome to respectfully observe or participate.

A lot of Thai people come here to prey. As usual temple is good. You will find a big lying Buddha inside the temple. Some rabbit is the god here. Don't know about the history as most of the people can speak Thai only. Could have a bookstall in English for the myth of the temple.

Amazing Temple! The most popular temple in Nan.

Lovely Wat, around 600 years old. Undergoing restoration now. A calm and peaceful atmosphere, with locals visiting and a good market. There is a school across the road and the sounds of children playing in the yard is also lovely.

At the time of writing the temple is being worked on but there's much to do around the temple to see the garden and the other structure and architecture There are shops and places to sit and enjoy the tranquility

Like many other reviewers said, its a big scenic place while you could take plenty of pictures to post on ur IG n Facebook. Haha. Foods and Beverages were average to be honest. However, the scenery is really good. U can even take pictures of the cows at the paddy field. For peoples with young kids, be careful with the walkway, its paths with woods, feel strong but not sure for how long. Anyway, do enjoy the visit and buy some snacks...

Great cafe. Very tasty coffee, lots of tasty things to buy and coffee beans too. The view is beautiful and there are lots of places to sit.

Great ambience! They have wide varieties of drinks (not only coffee). We came in Feb so it was breezy. Space is big and lots of seats - you can even take a nap here! Just a note that their coffee start with 3 shots so it might be too strong for some of you but of course, you can ask to reduce the shot.

The greenery view is incredibly refreshing and the spot itself is really nice and cozy

Nice place to take some pictures in a field planted with marijuana. There is a woven shop next to the cafe selling clothes. Was really crowded with all the tour coaches.

Nice place to visit when in Pua or passing through. It’s turned into quite a tourist attraction as there were 3 buses of tourists after we arrived. Still the property is large and great spots for photos. Purchased some ground arabica coffee to take home.

Good coffee with a variety of different roast coffee. Also offer a wide range of deserts. This is a must visit because of outdoor seating with a beautiful view. Enjoying the coffee with a very nice view.

This place serves homemade fresh bread, a variety of sandwiches, and other delicious food. It’s a bit more expensive, but totally worth it! We dined in once and picked up sandwiches for a hike the second time. Highly recommend!

So happy we found a breakfast place in Nan, and a really good one at that! The staff are so lovely and friendly. The food was super tasty we had to go back the next day 😊

An excellent place for breakfast. Not inexpensive but the excellent food, with fresh baked bread and very good coffee make it worth it. One of the best breakfast cafes I have experienced in Thailand. Can be quite busy with a wait to be seated on weekends.

Burned Bread in stead of Hot Bread When you pretend to serve good quality bread, never serve burned (tasteless) bread from a toaster. Besides that, scrambled eggs should have a little bit salt when preparing it. It was amazingly tasteless as well. I am happy that I didn't try their coffee, that should be also a disaster. The orange juice was from a pack,.so they were not able to ruin this. Conclusion: just go to the 7Eleven next to it and have a decent sandwich over there. The quality there is consistent and better and much, much cheaper.

I wanted to visit the stall I went during my last visit years ago, across the street however I saw this stall bustling with people. My curiosity brings me here. Its a family owned business. You can see the resemblance. The owner's son, I presume, speaks good English. Quite a long queue. Ordered a mixture of beef and chicken for brunch. Hmm...goods and taste good. You need to add the side dish ingredients into the noodle. Taste of onion and lime would bring out the full flavor of Khaosoi. Cost is not pricey, mine is Baht80. Definitely worth visiting to have your fill.

Outstanding home style food cooked with care and a genuine desire to please the customers. The food is fresh, cooked to order, and served hot. The fresh fruit topped pancakes are great, coffee is great, every thing was too good and at a very reasonable price. I will go back again and again.

Great breakfast and lunch spot. Delicious bread, sausage and eggs. Good coffee and nice seating location. The owners speak great English and are very friendly!

Finally!! After 1 month traveling around Thailand, we found a place where the quality, quantity and price are balanced! Normaly the quantity is not as we tried here, big dishes very tasty. Even they adapted the pesto pasta for a vegetarian meal. Amazing!

Nice place. This was our first time there. We went to have lunch on my wife's birthday. Each had s salad and drink. I had a chicken salad which was large and very good. My wife had a tuna salad and her only complaint was that the tuna was in oil. Overall nice lunch. When we paid the check my wife noticed that my salad was 30 baht more than the price on the menu. When she asked the person at the counter about it, she was told that my dressing (Italian Balsamic) was an extra charge. No where on the menu does it indicate there is there an extra charge for balsamic dressing. It was just one of many options. I attached a photo of the salad dressing choices menu. Doesn't make sense. I'm not going to lose any sleep over 30 baht but beware, I'm guessing that was a 'farang' charge.

A good spot if you are craving western food with a dash of Thai touch. Cozy atmosphere. Decoration is tasteful with lots of interesting items all over the place. We ordered spaghetti with this spicy "Mala" sauce. It was a good choice. This is a BYOB restaurant with no corkage fees. The owners informed us that they cannot sell alcohol due to the proximity to a school. There is a 7-11 nearby.

Really great food , had ribs . Very tender and a large portion. The staff were very friendly and happy. Great spot to eat in the heart of Nan 🙏

Indoor restaurant serving salads and some other dishes as spaghetti or steaks. We had a delicious salad but the spaghetti was a bit tasteless. So if you like good salads this is the place to go in Nan town.

Nice salad options, spare ribs a good size. Friendly staff.

Great! Beef ribeye steak for only 299baht. Juicy and tasty, friendly service.

What a fantastic experience at this restaurant! My shitake mushroom spaghetti was mind-blowing. The service and ambiance were pretty much on point. Great music, clean washrooms and extremely hospitable staff, specially the man named Tua-big shoutout to him for explaining everything about the city, culture, food and more. Would definitely return again for a meal. Food felt cleaner and delicately made. Loved everything!

This place was recommended to me by a friend and I was not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. First the persons working there are courteous and smiling. Then the food was very good and you can feel the chef is experienced. The soft shell crab salad was absolutely delicious and the duck breast perfectly balanced. Definitely a place i will now recommend too.

The place looks like bar / restaurant , despite the looks, they delivers on the food. The curry crab is full of flavour and spicy. The soup and vegetables are well cooked and taste good . Nice place to dine in

I could say very delicious to this restaurant. All dishes were wonderful with good cooking. Thank you Chef for adapting the beef curry and made it tasty. I also liked fried mushroom and prawn with garlic. The staffs were very nice with service mind. I would come back for the next trip to Nan. PS. Craft soda was good.

I cannot say anything about the food. Except that the menu looks good. I just stopped in the afternoon to have a glass of wine. Something that’s not easy to find in Nan. They have several bottles. But by glass it’s only red. So I had a glass of Shiraz. The owner is very talkative and nice. Very interested in his customers. I will definitely be back next time and try their food. And a bottle of white wine.

Very tasty restaurant with a diverse selection of western, Thai, and northern Thai dishes. Each dish has a unique taste and is well prepared. The entire meal was decently priced and very satisfying. The northern pork curry was particularly good as it was smooth and had a mix of flavors. The pasta was also delicious with cheesy texture.

As Italian I cannot suggest pizza. The pasta was good is you don't mind the different taste of the tomato sauce here in Thailand. Excellent the quesadillas and very tasty the grilled pork chop as well the other Thai dishes. Good service and nice atmosphere.

It is a in the forest cafe. The staff can understand a little bit English. Do not worry they have English menu as well. The most impressive place I guess it is on the second floor a small table surrounded by a bit tree which made you feel like you are sitting in the jungle. So very harmony between human and nature. Also the green milk tea is very good and rainbow cake with Passion fruit sauce is yummy and good looking. You can take lots of fresh style photos. Please take a rest at this interesting cafe.

Nice atmosphere. Very serene setting. Great view from the 2nd level overlooking the Nan River. We had coffee and the cold drinks were tasty. We also had an awesome dessert of honey bread, fruit and ice cream we all shared. I probably wouldn't recommend it for seniors on the 2nd level as the stairs are bit tough to climb for them. All in all, great hidden gem.

A chill place 'tree cafe' good for drinks, but not really recommend for the food. This location has the river view that allows us to feel close to nature.

Very nice Cafè/Bistro/Bar. The coffee is great and if you like cake you should definitely try the chocolate cake. The rest of the drinks and cakes are good too. Great atmosphere and excellent service.

Tasty coffee, but 1 thing i ordered didn't come. Had a cake what was tasty but super small, plus all the garnish around the cake doesn't make the price fair. Also waited about an hour before we had everything. Nice view, big variety in drinks, (import beers) shakes and cakes. Plenty of places to sit.

So relaxing atmosphere! I really enjoyed just to sit and chill by looking at Nan River view in front of the cafe. The coffee was good and the honey toasted was ok.

Great atmosphere, large art space next to Nan river, coffee OK also serve Bar & Bistro food and craft beer

If you're looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature, with incredible sunrise and sunset views and a sky full of stars at night, Doi Samer Dao is a must-visit! It’s located inside Si Nan National Park in Nan Province, and it’s easy to reach by car. A short walk from the parking area takes you to the scenic viewpoint on top of the ridge. This spot is perfect for camping. If you don’t have your own tent, you can rent one from the park (around 300–400 THB). There are bathrooms and charging stations available, but no food stalls—so bring your own or order in advance. The air is cool and comfortable at night, with no city lights to block the stars. A dream for stargazers! The best part? Early in the morning, you’ll witness a sea of mist floating over the hills with golden sunlight peeking through. Totally worth waking up early!

It is amazing experience here. Camping, stargazing and sunrise. Unfortunately, when we come (mid-nov) the moon was showing-off and cloudy at midnight. When sunrise the fog came. But overall was good. If you rent tent here, please check first for any insect.

My first camping in Thailand. The place was clean and spacious. Public toilets were clean and they have charging stations, that’s a surplus! Rent a tent for 2 pax at 390 THB if I’m not wrong, it’s cheap!!! Before enter the park, you gonna have to buy ticket and pay for car park. It’s cheap tho, please don’t mind the price. It’s freezing cold at night and it rain on the night I stayed. Luckily the tent was water proof so I can sleep tight. Haha

Arrived on 14/12/23 , A place to watch the sunrise and sunset in the same place. The atmosphere is very good. There is a breeze blowing. The park staff provide good service. The bathrooms are clean. Recommended.

Another camping experience here, this place have special rules for car parks, you can unload your camping stuff near camping site, then you have to park your car at the parking area down hill. You can either rent a camp or bring your own, in the normal days, you will have to spend a bit of camping fee. There are restaurants delivery offered at the site, no need to worry about food. The view of stars at night and sunrise in the morning was stunning!

I can’t stop saying “Awesome” to this place, every spot my eyes see is so beautiful. The color of the grasses make me think of teletubbies 😂. It is truly relaxing and the view is stunning 🤩 After the rain, the clouds are just perfectly floating above this landscape. During rainy season this place is quite empty so I can enjoy the nature peacefully ☺️ This place is called “ Doi samer dao” because during winter at night you can see countless stars really close to you, as if this mountain as high as the same level as those stars ⭐️

We rented the tent for 2pax for 390thb. Didn't book anything. Came at 3pm they still have tent available. You can bring food to cook, there are so many items to rent for cooking. Come before sunset for the pretty view and wake up early at 5am to watch sunrise. So worth it! The toilet are clean too.

A scenic gem nestled in Nan Province at an elevation of about 1,424 m, Khun Sathan National Park offers breathtaking mountain views, serene morning mist, and clean, well-maintained camping and visitor facilities. Highlights & Attractions. Panoramic Viewpoints: Doi Khun Sathan (approx. 1,630 m) and Doi Mae Chok (approx. 1,424 m) provide spectacular sunrise and mountain vistas—the morning mist adds to the ethereal experience.

The campground features hot showers and a coffee shop—ideal for a relaxing overnight stay under starlit skies. Amenities: Includes parking, restrooms, clear hiking trails, a small restaurant, and a scenic coffee spot overlooking the valley.

If you're here for the view and nature, this is one of my most recommended place to sleep overnight. I stayed in a hut overnight with nice bed and thick blankets for two. Waking up to sunrise and a sea of misty fog layed acrossed the land. They also have a cafe that you can have toast and coffee to warm you up.

Great place for camping, very well covered facility, but be careful of leeches when stepping on wet surface. Overall really good place for relaxing and enjoy the scenery. Cell service is working.

Try not to go with motorbike 🏍️ the road was extremely slippery during rain, especially on the edge of the road. Me and my partner were had an accident but it wasn’t a bad one. Guys! I couldn’t see anything when I reached the viewpoints. It was drizzling all the time and a bit cold. I suggest you to not go up the pine tree viewpoint, crazy leech will suck your blood like hell. They are extremely difficult to get rid off from your feet. Anyway I am pretty sure this place will look a lot better during winter, the pink flowers still waiting to be seen next time. The staffs are really nice and helpful.

Peaceful National Park with nice camping areas and good bathrooms. Sadly, the forest has been denuded in many places and the lights from a couple of large towns are visible in the night. The tiny restaurant only cooks rice with omelette which is tasty. We had a pleasant night watching the stars move in the heavens.

National Park at 1400 mt. Elevation with campground and facilities. Nice coffee shops as well. A 400 mt. hike will take you on the mountain top and you will be rewarded with a great view.

A very busy camping site. Doesn’t have electricity at the campground. It’s not allowed to cook near the tents too. There is a separate place for that. Pillows provided by the camp are not that comfortable. You can see the sunrise in the morning.

My favorite walking street in Thailand. Most products are locally made by the locals unlike some larger walking streets that sell stuff that is made elsewhere or in a factory. The market is not large but filled with food and local handcraft. The foods are mostly local northern style dishes and they are cheap and tasty. The market is clean and well organized with a seating area next to Wat Phumin for visitors to sit and eat properly. There is a public toilet nearby plus the temples next door turn on the light and open for night visits which make the whole experience even better. I would recommend staying in a nearby hotel and walking to the site instead of bringing the car. But you can park on a nearby street.

plenty of food and souvenir shop, You can buy food and walk. There is a sitting area in front of the temple. Recommend to come here close to the sunset time, view is very nice.

Wonderful night walking street! Well organized Nice and clean Many shops Near beautiful temples

Awesome location! The market is surrounded by iconic places, many stunning temples. Those temple turn on their light which make them look so cool! The food is variety from local to a regular Thai food. It is a rainy season now so I don’t see a seat to enjoy my dinner but last year during winter, there are a dining spot where you can sit snd enjoy your food on a traditional wooden utensils ( Khan-toke).

Really good street food, the durians were pretty good too, no bad aftertaste, very fruity! They even have separate trash can for recycling purposes.

When i visited there was a big variety of food vendors, but what made it really nice is that there was a Thai classical dance competition going on, and many mats and tables were laid out so that you could enjoy the performances while eating.

A weekend fea market in the evening is located in the Pha Kong road There’s various things to buy and taking a way and also had northern tables for free (they called it “Kun Tok”)

Khao Soi is so good. It's not too spicy.

Looks pretty busy. Too bad...just had my Khaosoi earlier else would definitely try here based on the crowd.

Delicious Khao Soi with extremely tender chicken. Be careful with spices if not used to it, but very good anyway. Friendly owner and very inexpensive. Easy to find on google maps and very walking friendly.

The food is good and nice owner!

I really enjoyed my first Khao soi. It was so tasty and the owners were really friendly. So glad I came across this restaurant by chance. Ended up coming for breakfast and lunch in one day.

Affordable and tasty food. Service was fine even while busy.

KHAO SOI KHAO SOI KHAO SOI. A must eat noodle curry chicken dish served in the north. Only 30 baht a bowl. So good ! This dish is this places’ specialty. They also serve chicken feet soup!
