Wat Suan Tan (Palm Grove Monestary) is lacated on Mahayot Road. It was built in 1227 AD., featuring an old, beautifully-shaped Chedi (pagoda) and houses a huge bronze Buddha statue, Phra Chao Thong Thip, cast by a king of Chiang Mai in 1450 as a symbol of his triumph in taking over the rule of Nan. There is an annual Buddha statue bathing ceremony on April 13 which is the Thai Lunar New Year. Opening hours are 7 am-5 pm.
Of secondary interest at the front of the temple in a shelter are two long boats for ceremonial use on the River Nan.
