History of the Wat Phumin
The Wat Phumin is the most famous temple in the entire Nan province, and is a perfect example of impressive Budhist architecture. It has a venerable history, having been constructed way back in 1596 AD; although it suffered gradual wearing over the next few centuries, it was restored to its earlier glory during the reign of Chao Ananta Vora Ritthi Det. The restoration work lasted 8 years, from 1867 to 1875.
