Wat Nong Daeng

Group 1, Peua Subdistrict, Chiang Klang District, Nan Province.

This ancient temple, over 200 years old, was established in 1787 by the Tai Lue people in collaboration with the Tai Phuan. It offers a wealth of fascinating features, particularly the "Tai Lue Sanctuary," which stands as an important historical site in Chiang Klang District. The building showcases traditional Tai Lue architecture, complete with intricately carved gable decorations made of golden teak, known as the "Nok Hadsi Link." The eaves are adorned with decorative woodwork featuring unique water droplet patterns specific to the Tai Lue culture. Inside, visitors can admire ancient mural paintings that depict the Ten Birth Stories (Dasakarmapath) portraying the Bodhisattva's quests for enlightenment. These stunning artworks were created using age-old recipes mixing plaster. Additionally, there is an idol situated on a pedestal known as the "Naga Throne," which symbolizes elegance, virtue, and serves as a protector of Buddhism.
