Wat Bunyuen

Wat Bunyuen, Nan Province 🙏🙏🙏It is an ancient temple in Wiang Sa District. It is assumed that this temple was built by Phraya Wiang Po and named it “Wat Bunna”. Later, during the reign of Prince Attawarapanyo, the ruler of Nan, he visited Wiang Sa and found that Wat Bunnak was narrow, so he ordered the temple to be moved and rebuilt. He gave the temple a new name, “Wat Pa Sak Ngam”. He also ordered the construction of a chapel and a main Buddha image in the chapel in a standing posture, 8 cubits high, so the name was changed from “Wat Pa Sak Ngam” to “Wat Bunyuen”. 🌿🙏🌿The chapel is in Lanna art with a three-tiered roof. The main Buddha image in the chapel is a standing Buddha image, opening the world in a standing posture, with both hands hanging down normally, as if standing, but with both palms facing forward. The doors of the chapel consist of three-tiered carved teakwood doors. It is a picture of Indra sitting on a lotus and Brahma sitting on a seven-headed elephant. 📍 Tambon Klang Wiang, Wiang Sa District, Nan Province #VisitNan
