Wat Chan Tawan Tok

The temple stands on the west bank of the Nan River, featuring the golden Maha Vihara Somdet Ong Pathom hall and intricate wall designs with celestial beings.

Founded in 1857 after a fire destroyed the original Wat Rang Ngoen, when local resident Nai Ted donated 16 rai of land near the river for construction.

The temple houses the Luang Por Thong Lai Ma, a large standing Buddha statue in almsgiving posture, and contains sacred relics in the Phra Buddha Jedi Sra Luang.

Located at 68/4 Moo 10 in Wat Chan Sub-District, the temple opens daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies throughout the year.

The temple derives its name from a large Chan tree on its grounds, with multiple smaller Chan trees scattered throughout the property.
