Nan鈥檚 most famous Buddhist temple is celebrated for its exquisite murals, executed during the late 19th century by a Thai L眉 artist named Thit Buaphan. The exterior of the temple takes the form of a cruciform 产貌丑迟 (ordination hall) that was constructed in 1596 and restored during the reign of Chao Anantavorapitthidet (1867鈥74). The ornate altar in the centre of the 产貌丑迟 has four sides, with four Sukhothai-style sitting Buddhas facing in each direction.
