Wat Phra Lao Thep Nimit, Buddhist temple and registered historic site in Phana, Thailand.

The ordination hall of Wat Phra Lao Thep Nimit contains a principal Buddha image decorated with gold leaves, reflecting traditional Lanna architectural style.

Founded in 1720, the temple houses a Buddha statue that exemplifies the artistic influences from Vientiane during the 16th and 17th centuries.

The Buddha image displays specific facial patterns and higher flames over the head, characteristics found in wooden and bronze statues of the region.

Located two kilometers from Amphoe Phana on Highway 2134, the temple maintains regular hours for visitors interested in Buddhist architecture and religious practices.

The principal Buddha image features a subduing Mara posture and represents the most refined Buddha statue in Thailand's Northeast Region.
