One must-visit viewpoint in Nan province that travelers shouldn’t miss is the high vantage point of the city from behind the large reclining Buddha statue at Wat Phra That Khao Noi. This temple is perched atop Khao Noi hill, located to the west of downtown Nan. From this viewpoint, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking panorama of Nan's landscape, stretching far as the eye can see. Arriving here just before sunrise adds an extra charm to the experience; if you’re lucky, you might capture the stunning first light of day illuminating the Buddha from behind, making this spot an iconic photo opportunity in Nan province.
