The smallest temple in the world, "Wat Noi Ancient Monument", is located under the Bodhi tree in front of the Nan National Museum. It is a small temple under the Bodhi tree. If we do not look carefully, we will not see it. The reason for building this temple is told as follows... In 1873, Phra Chao Suriyapong Phritdet had the opportunity to pay respect to King Chulalongkorn, Rama V, and reported the total number of temples in Nan to him, which was 500 temples. When he returned to Nan, he ordered a survey of all the temples in Nan again. It was found that there were only 499 temples in Nan, which was one temple too many. Therefore, he ordered the craftsmen to build a small temple at the base of the Bodhi tree in front of his palace (in front of the Nan National Museum today) and named it "Wat Noi" to complete the number of 500 temples as reported. #secretlocation #thailand #prayforblessings #pray #Thaitemples #beautifultemplesinThailand #Best of the world #Nan #Visit Nan
