Doi Phuka National park |
The
main draw of Nan town is the national treasure of Wat
Phumin. The temple is most remarkable for its many
murals in pastel tones depicting tales from the Buddha's
life. Another temple of some merit is Wat
Phra That Chae Haeng, located southwest of town
on the oposite bank of the river. |

Nan
has its share of festivals too. The Golden
Orange Festival held in December or January celebrates
Nan's most famous export. Parades and floats decorated
with golden-skinned oranges take to the streets. The other
big attraction in Nan is the annual Dragon-Boat
Race, held to celebrate the end of Buddhist Lent
in October or November. |
