Very nice temple or in Thailand 'Wat' . Its a to visit place when you visit Pua. Love the temple set up and how the local enjoyed the temple. We were lucky to meet up with a bunch of young and small school kids doing their services for the temple. Cute... enjoyed our visit to the temple.

A very beautiful spot a short drive out of town. The temple itself is nothing too spectacular, but the views are very nice. A few restaurants and a small strip of market like stalls are forming around the base of the hill. Very quaint. Worth a visit.

I can’t keep my lips together, they are open and keep saying WOW. The view point is jaw dropping. Stunning landscape of rice paddy fields and local houses are so cute. The temple itself looks cool, especially the painting inside. I must say an artist is so creative, there are several cartoons hiding in those paint you have to look carefully. The feeding fish technology is genius 👍 I tried a few desert on the market outside the temple, they are quite good.

We reached the temple in the late evening, there are still some visitors inside the temple, the weather is nice in December, especially when you are up hill. Seems like every temple has their own animals to feed. This one they have lots of chickens.

Hermosa ciudad, tranquila y su gente muy amable. Con montañas preciosas a su alrededor, también lugares de cultivo de arros y algunas tejedoras de algodón que se encuentran en villas cercanas. al templo más importante, Wat Phuket. (Translated by Google) Beautiful city, quiet and very friendly people. With beautiful mountains around it, also places where rice is grown and some cotton weavers found in nearby villages. to the most important temple, Wat Phuket.

One of the best rice field view in Nan. A must visit place to see the panorama view from the top. The temple itself also has very beautiful art and wall paint of Buddha & dhamma. I love the peaceful atmosphere and kind people here. You can come here for meditation as well as it presents such a supporting environment for inner peace. Monk will hit the bell with beautiful rhythm everyday at noon or 12.00pm.

Many may wonder isn't Wat Phuket in Phuket? Phuket is actually derived from the Malay word Bukit which means hill. Wat Phuket is build on hill. A nicely build temple with lots of activities and nearby stalls makes it even more interesting. There is a live local dance performance and you can see dogs, cats and chicken living in harmony.

Doi Phu Kha National Park

Mentioned on 
National park
Nature & Parks
Doi Phu Kha National Park is a renowned high-altitude park, known for its undulating hills and named after a towering peak that reaches 1980 meters. This nature lover's paradise boasts spectacular scenery and bracing fresh air. Home stays are available at affordable prices, though may lack the comforts of hotels. Do not compare them as such. The area is abundant with natural beauty and fascinating attractions worth exploring, making it an ideal destination for lovers of the great outdoors.
Doi Phu Kha National Park in Nan, Thailand is like stepping into a nature wonderland. It's full of green trees and stunning views that will take your breath away. I loved walking along the trails and seeing beautiful waterfalls. The best part was climbing up Doi Phu Kha, the highest hill there. The view from the top was amazing, even though the hike was a bit tough. But seeing all the plants and animals along the way made it really cool. There are also people from different tribes who live in the park. It was neat to learn about their way of life and see their traditions. Plus, you can camp there if you want to stay longer and explore more. Overall, Doi Phu Kha National Park was like a dream come true for me. Whether you're into adventure or just want to chill out in nature, you'll love it here. I think anyone visiting Nan should definitely check it out.

The national park itself is beautiful, as is the entire region of Nan. Unfortunately, it cannot be explored much because there are really no maintained hiking trails. At the entrance to the park, we were told that it is basically just a camping site, and although there is a forest trail, it is not recommended unless you have a guide as much of it is unmarked, and in any case it does not offer much of a view. As we were driving west down the slope out of the park, we passed some truly spectacular sights that could be made into some of Thailand's most amazing trails. Sadly, this park does not seem to be regarded as more than a campground.

I did 1081 floating road with motorbike. No traffic at all and really enjoyable.
matej otrin — Google review
I did not get to stay long enough to see all the park had to offer, but what I did see was absolutely stunning. We stayed in the cabins instead of camping in a tent. 4 twin beds per cabin, a shower, toilet and a small kitchen with a kettle for heating water and a microwave. It was quite comfortable. From the observation area where the sunset pictures were taken you can get a really wonderful view of the night sky. Turn the lights off around the building there, lay down on the observation deck and look up. It is stunning. They offer food preparation, which is the best route to go seeing as anything else isn't really close. All things told, it was decent food at a decent price. I hope to visit this place again when I have a couple of days to trek around and really enjoy the natural beauty of this place.

If you want to get closer to the natural, here is the right place. The weather is very fresh. The scenery is very very wonderful. For the home stay, it is just okay with the very cheap price and it is among the mountains so it's not so much comfortable. Please do not compare with hotel. By the way, I love Doi Phu Kha and will go there again next year. :)

Beautiful (motorcycle) ride through this park. I didn't stay overnight but one particular viewpoint here is the best viewpoint I've seen anywhere in Thailand. Beautiful place!

Good for hiking but beware - lots of leeches and trails are unmarked. Very easy to get lost. Ask for a map at the HQ. If camping or staying at a bungalow without a vehicle you will have to walk 700 metres downhill to the restaurant/shop/HQ then back up again.

Beauty of nature is all around the area. There are many fantastic attractions for visiting.
iDeo — Google review
Spectacular mountain scenery. Inexpensive decent accommodation- take chalets phuka 106 - nice view. Sadly the only hiking trail is poorly marked in places and full of leeches. Visited in low season - getting meals was bit tricky as the kitchen closed at 5 and at any time of the day it takes up to 45 minutes to get a meal. No English information, you are on your own. perhaps your Google translate app can help a bit.

(Translated by Google) Go pay homage to the Buddha image in the chapel. beautiful and quiet In front there is a Digdium tree. The temple is currently building a temple. The surroundings may look a bit untidy. But got the opportunity to make merit and donate the scales of the temple. (Original) ไปไหว้พระพุทธรูปในอุโบสถ สวยงามและเงียบสงบ ด้านหน้ามีต้นดิกเดียม ทางวัดกำลังมีการก่อสร้างวิหาร รอบๆอาจดูไม่เรียบร้อยบ้าง แต่ได้โอกาสทำบุญถวายแป้นเกล็ดของวิหาร
สิทธิชัย นิยมญาติ — Google review
(Translated by Google) It is not a very large temple. At the temple there is a Digdium tree that when rubbed on the trunk makes the tree shake. But I tried stroking it and it didn't shake.😁😁 In front of the temple, if it's a Saturday evening, there will also be a Pua walking street. (Original) เป็นวัดที่ไม่ใหญ่มาก ที่วัดมีต้นดิ้กเดียมที่พอลูบที่ลำต้นแล้วต้นไม้จะสั่น แต่ลองลูบดูแล้วก็ไม่สั่นนะ😁😁 หน้าวัดถ้าเป็นเย็นวันเสาร์จะมีถนนคนเดินเมืองปัวด้วยครับ

The room, washroom, common area are very clean. Highly recommended to visit in September. This place will bring you to basic of how Thai people live in 50+ years ago. You must try the pizza they make. I try pizza nam prik and it's exceptional 👌 Ps. Study this place before you go. Bring to basic mean you shall leave everything that make you comfortable behind. Only bring your heart and sole.

Amazing place Heaven in hearth for those who love nature. Hosts Bird and his parents are super nice and kind. We planned to stay one night and changed our mind to stay more as vibes are sooo good. Vegetarian breakfast and dinner delicious thai food cooked by Bird's mom. We will definitely come back 😊 Thanks for this unforgettable experience

Go give some help out to Bird and his parents in his permaculture farm. We did not stay long enough to help with the farm works, as we stayed 1 night only. It was one of our best part of our trip in Thailand. The landscape is stunning, Bird explains so well his plans for the farm and his interest in permaculture. The dinner, vegetarian, authentic thaï food, was delicious, all together in the main hut, that he builded from his own hands. The breakfast as well, vegetarian. All cooked by his mother. We then rested on the terrace, looking for hours at the moon and the mountains. Bird organized for us a thaï herbal sauna (that they builded !) and we made our own tie&dye scarfs and dress. His mother explained us how to do. They are amazing hosts, very dedicated, adapting themselves a lot to your needs and yet, really wanting you to live their live and discover what is it to live in a permaculture farm. Please send them people interested in permaculture from around the world, they would love it !

Small temple on the outskirts of Pua and overlooking the valley of Pua.

Situated up on a hill in Pua overlooking lush fields, this smaller temple has an interesting couple of watering dragons in front of the Chedi. Usually it is a system of cables with a bucket. In the Viharn on each side are a number of ancient weapons.

Very quiet temple in the outskirts of Pua. Easy-living although close to the city (which is not so big). The Viharn's roof is covered with wooden tiles and there are a few monks gently walking, working here. Serenity

A beautiful temple on a hill. More beautiful than the temple are the views from it of lush rice patties and mountains in distance. There are shops close by. Do not miss it if north Naan area.

This temple is very close to the town center and also the way to go to Doi Phu Kha. So, if you have time, you should stop by here. There are some very beautiful viewpoints in the temple’s area.
