Wat Tha Luang, Buddhist temple in Nai Mueang, Thailand.
Wat Tha Luang is a temple located on the western bank of the Nan River in northern Thailand. The structure displays traditional Thai architectural features and contains a central hall with a Chiang Saen style Buddha statue called Luang Pho Phet.
The temple was founded in 1845 during the reign of King Rama III. In 1986 it received an official designation as a third-class royal monastery, confirming its institutional standing.
The temple displays murals and sculptures throughout its grounds showing scenes from Buddha's life. These artworks are visible to visitors and help illustrate Buddhist beliefs as they are understood locally.
The temple is accessible to visitors daily from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Early morning or late afternoon visits offer more comfortable conditions due to cooler temperatures and softer sunlight.
The location hosts traditional long boat races that have taken place here since 1907. This water sport event draws participants and spectators, connecting the temple to community life.
