Wat Tha Thanon, Buddhist temple in Tha It, Thailand.

Wat Tha Thanon sits along the Nan River, featuring traditional Thai architectural elements with an Ubosot and Viharn housing sacred Buddhist statues.

The temple gained prominence in 1893 when monks discovered the Luang Po Phet bronze Buddha statue, estimated to be from the 13th century.

The temple maintains an active Buddhist monastic community where visitors can observe daily rituals and participate in religious ceremonies throughout the year.

Visitors can locate the temple at coordinates N17°37'11 E100°5'55, with appropriate dress code required when entering the temple grounds.

The Luang Po Phet statue, displayed in the temple's Viharn, ranks as the second most important variant of this Buddha image in Thailand.
