Phumin Temple

Wat Phumin is located in Ban Phumin, Mueang Nan District, Nan Province, near the Nan National Museum. It was originally called "Wat Phrommin". It is a temple that is different from other temples. The chapel and the temple are built as a single building. The wooden doors in all four directions are beautifully carved by Lanna craftsmen. In addition, the walls also show the life and culture of the past era according to the chronicles of Nan. Wat Phumin was built around 2139 by Phra Chao Chetbut Phrommin, the ruler of Nan, after he ruled Nan for 6 years. It is stated in the Mueang Nuea Scriptures that the original name was "Wat Phrommin", which was the name of Chao Chetbut Phrommin, the temple's builder. However, the temple's name was later changed to Wat Phumin. 🍁 Interesting things about Wat Phumin The world-famous whispering love picture of Pu Man and Ya Man The four-sided ordination hall The unique beauty of Wat Phumin, which is like no other and is the only one in Thailand, is that it is a four-sided ordination hall.
