If you like beautiful old temples then you should visit the Wat Nong Bua, located at Ban Nong Bua a few km from Tha Wang Pha in Nan province, North Thailand. And located between the beautiful rice fields with mountains nearby, the temple was founded around 1860 during the reign of King Rama V and build by Tai Lue people (who came to Nan from Southern China around 1800). Inside the temple are wall murals that are probably made about 100 years ago. Because it is a bit off the beaten track there are almost no tourists coming here. You are allowed to make photos inside but without flash .... unfortunately the lens of my camera is not good enough for this limited light (and I had no stand with me). It is one of my favourite temples to visit because it is not overrun by tourists. Actually there are a few more of this kind of temples in Nan province where tourists not come at all. For more information about Nan province have a look at Destination Travel Guide Nan.
