Wat Sri Panton
วัดศรีพันต้น
A golden temple in the modern Lanna style, its main hall and naga railings glittering with gold, and a popular photo spot in Nan.
Wat Sri Panton has a history dating back to the 15th century. The current main hall was rebuilt in the 2000s, and its facade is almost entirely covered in gold relief. Golden seven-headed nagas flank the staircase, and the murals inside use modern techniques to tell the story of Nan's history and the life of the Buddha. Like the White Temple and Blue Temple in Chiang Rai, it belongs to the new-style school of temples. It sits on the west side of the old town, about a 10-minute walk from Wat Phumin. Admission is free, and visitors must cover their shoulders and knees.
