#WinterTravel This winter, we had the opportunity to go on a merit-making trip to Nan Province. One of the temples we visited was Wat Mongkol, a temple with a good name that sounds auspicious for life. This ancient temple is located in Nan Province. It is very convenient to travel to. Wat Mongkol was built in 1786. 📍Location Number 5 Mongkol Mahawong, Nai Wiang Subdistrict, Mueang Nan District, Nan Province, Postal Code 55000, Wat Rat

The coffee shop is located along the way from Bukit Tinggi to Batu Sangkar. A tiny pitstop where one can have break from the long drive.The entrance is small but the backyard is very spacious and facing towards the rice field. Free flow tea, Kopi Kawa coffee leaves & cinnamon drink. Order some snack at a cost - Roast Banana with cheese, surprisingly messy taste in a good way. Lol! Good food for a reasonable price and a store where you can buy many coffee related things. Cafe, great scenery and shop in one place. Thumbs up for the nature view! 📍Kopi Kiniko Jalan Raya Batusangkar #summervacation#urbanexplorer

🏛️ History & Faith Wat Sri Mongkol, also known as "Wat Kong," is located in Yom Subdistrict, Tha Wang Pha District. It was granted the royal temple status in 1852 (B.E. 2395). In 1931 (B.E. 2474), villagers invited Luang Pu Khruba Kong (Phra Khru Mongkol Rangsi) to restore the abandoned temple, transforming it into a place for spiritual practice and a community center. Today, it stands as a significant temple for the people of Nan. ⸻ 🏰 Architecture & Art • The teakwood Lanna-style entrance gate is stunningly beautiful from the very first step. • The main vihara (assembly hall) features a blend of Lanna and Tai Lue styles, adorned with intricate stucco designs and murals by Nan Buaphan, depicting the great flood of Ban Yom in 1881 (B.E. 2424). • The Mongkol Tham Rangsi Museum houses ancient artifacts such as Buddha statues, scripture cabinets, pottery, traditional tools, and inscribed palm leaves, offering deep insights into Lanna culture. ⸻ 🌾 Nature & Scenic Views The temple is situated at the foot of a hill, with a viewing platform at the back overlooking lush green rice fields and Doi Phu Kha mountain. The panoramic view is especially breathtaking during the rainy season or amidst morning mist. Visitors can also enjoy a wooden bridge through the fields, a cozy coffee shop, and picturesque photo spots like the bamboo bridge, Lanna-style paper umbrellas, and bamboo huts ("Huen Ma Kao") harmoniously nestled in the fields.
