Wat Tha Luang, Buddhist temple in Nai Mueang, Thailand.

The temple stands prominently on the western bank of the Nan River, featuring traditional Thai architectural elements and a central hall housing sacred statues.

Constructed in 1845 during King Rama III's reign, the temple received its third-class royal monastery designation in 1986, marking its institutional significance.

The temple grounds include numerous murals and sculptures depicting Buddha's life, serving as educational resources for understanding Buddhist philosophy and practices.

Visitors can access the main hall daily from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM to view the Chiang Saen style Buddha statue known as Luang Pho Phet.

The temple location along the Nan River provides the setting for traditional long boat races, a competition tradition dating from 1907.
