Wat Nam Hoo is a place of great significance and is famous for its long history and spiritual importance in Pai, Mae Hong Son province.

The site has a long history, believed to have been founded during the reign of King Naresuan the Great to house a chedi containing the ashes of his elder sister, Princess Suphankanlaya. This connection makes the temple full of interesting historical stories.

The temple has been renovated and developed over time to preserve its cultural and spiritual value for the community. Its most notable feature is the Luang Pho Un Mueang, a sacred Lanna-style bronze Buddha statue in the Maravichaya posture. A unique feature of this statue is the belief that water constantly seeps from its head, creating a sense of awe and reverence among visitors.

Wat Nam Hoo offers a peaceful, shady, and sacred atmosphere, making it ideal for praying, making merit, and finding inner peace.

This place is perfect for tourists who want to experience local history, pilgrims seeking a sacred site, and those who appreciate the quiet tranquility of a temple.

If you want to experience the sacredness and serenity, as well as learn about historical stories related to the royal family of the past, Wat Nam Hoo is a place you should not miss.
