Wat Phumin is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking Phakong Road , 55000, Thailand
Picture of Couple seem so Classical as one of well-known pictures in Thailand. Many people come to take a picture with this couple.This Wat is located in prime area as you can visit Nan Museum or take Tram Tour at Nan Visitor Centre or eat Khao Soi at Khao Soi Ton Nam.Highly recommended.
Unusual & beautiful murals in this temple. Great night market next to it on. Saturday evening. Well worth a visit.
It was worth the drive from Chiang Mai just to see the frescoes in this temple – which include the famous one showing two lovers – the man whispering sweet nothings to his girl. I attach a photo of one of the less famous wall paintings but giving a good idea of the local art style. The is a sculpture of the couple at the main entrance to to temple and a favourite photo spot for visitors.
If you come to Nan, you must come to this temple. A unique identity that is different from other temples of Wat Phumin is that the church and viharn are built in the same building with wooden doors in all four directions. Carved patterns by Lanna craftsmen, very beautiful. In addition, the walls depict life and culture. In addition to the picture of whispering love that is the highlight There are also other images. There are many more. When I come with my family, I feel very good. I can pay homage to monks and also see beautiful paintings.
Located in the heart of Nan city, the over 420 year old temple is unarguably a must visiting attraction. The temple has 4 principle Buddha images facing all 4 directions. What so special about the temple are its 150 year old beautiful wall murals. The wall paintings not only have a great artistic visual art but also have a historical value as they depict local ways of life such as native attires, courtship. Here, we had a little girl as our local guide explained us about the detail of each painting.1. The Mona Lisa of Nan = A beautiful woman wearing her hair in a bun after finished taking a bath.2. The Noble Woman = A noble lady in traditional dress smoking a cigarette, since the smoke from the tobacco can keep away mosquitos and harmful insects.3. The Noble Man = A noble man smoking a cigarette. Notice that he has tattoos from his belly down to his knees according to the local tradition.4. At the boat dock = Group of young people meet for dating at the boat dock. If a man is interested in a woman, he will ask her to light a cigarette. If the woman is interested in him, she will offer to light his.5. Young Lovebirds = Young teenagers in a scene of dating. According to our guide, the young lady asks the man, “Have you ever had a woman before?”. The young man replies “No, I haven’t. Do your parents allow me to be in your house?”. The lady says “Even my parents do not allow you inside my house, but I do allow you inside my heart”. I really love this scene. What a romantic!6. The Whispering Lovers = A man whispering something to the ear of a woman (ask your guide what did he say to her ; so sweet). This iconic painting becomes the symbol of Nan as you can see this painting everywhere in Nan (not only in the city). We also bought a wooden wall mirror with doors hand decorated with this painting as a souvenir.It is said that if you travel to Nan without visiting this temple, it means you have not really visited Nan. I couldn’t agree more.
The murals reflecting the history of Nan should not be missed, with the famous Love Whisper but (try to spot the naughty ones !)
I came here after hearing about the murals inside. They are all very nice and worth some photos. It’s a pretty small temple.
Nice place to visit. Good atmosphere and very local. They have a market during Sunday evening. Recommend for street foods explorer.
Nice wat to visit. Some of the ornate decor is quite beautiful. Unfortunately, I missed the murals inside, which other folks in my group said were amazing! So this review is just based on the outdoor parts.
