Wat
Nam Hu
Located
3 km from Pai city, this old monastery was once abandoned.
Recently,
restoration programs have saved this temple from ruin, and
it now is the home of Phra Un Muang, a Chiang Saen Buddha
image, in the ubosot.
This
500-year-old statue measures 28 inches wide and 30 inches
high and is considered the pride and joy of the Pai people.
The top of the image can be opened and there is a continual
seepage of water, which many believe to be holy water.
