Wat Phumin is a uniquely designed and the most interesting temple in Nan, which has a 4-portico, single building housing both the Ubosot and Vihan. Four Buddha statues with their backs against together facing to the doors in four directions are enshrined in the main hall. The doors are delicately carved in splendid designs by Lanna craftsmen. Wat Phumin underwent a major restoration in 1867 since it was built around 271 years before that the restoration takes 7 years. It is believed that the wall murals were commissioned during this time. The wall paintings, in Thai Lu style are considered highly valuable and depict legends concerning the Lord Buddha as well as local legends and the local way of life, which include native attires, weaving and commerce with foreign countries.
