Wat Noi

Wat Noi is a shrine with traditional Thai architectural features located within the Nan National Museum grounds. The structure displays religious symbols and follows the classical northern Thai building style.

The shrine stands on grounds that were built as a residence for Phra Chao Suriyapnong Phalidet in 1903. The property was later donated to the government and transformed into a museum.

The shrine reflects daily worship practices that visitors and local people observe today. You can see people bringing flowers and incense, pausing for quiet moments of reflection.

You can access the shrine during museum opening hours since it sits within the museum grounds. Wear appropriate clothing and show respect for this active place of worship.

The shrine shares the museum grounds with collections of Buddha statues, including regional Lanna styles and local variations. This proximity to religious art makes the place helpful for understanding northern artistic traditions.
