Wat Hua Na Tha Nao, Phu Pieng, Nan. The temple was established around 1773 and was originally called Wat Hua Na. During the reign of King Rama VI, it was granted the Wisungkhamsima (a royal charter granting the right to build the ordination hall) in August 1921. Since its founding, 12 monks have held the position of abbot.
 
Currently, the abbot of Wat Hua Na is Phra Athikan Churit Ittitecho, who has continuously restored and maintained the temple. In 1990, a major renovation was undertaken under the leadership of Phra Khru Wutthithamphinan (also known as Luang Pho Muang Chai Katapunyo) and Phra Khru Athorn Nankit, deputy abbot of Wat Phaya Phu in Nai Wiang Subdistrict, Mueang Nan District.
 
The local villagers raised funds for the construction, and many faithful donors from both within and outside the province contributed to the building of the ordination hall. Skilled artisans from Chiang Saen District, Chiang Rai Province, were brought in to create stucco sculptures in the Chiang Saen art style.
 
Inside the vihara, there are stucco reliefs depicting scenes from the Buddha’s life and the story of Prince Vessantara. The site was later registered as a tourist attraction in Nan Province.
 
The temple serves as a sacred place for religious ceremonies. Inside the ubosot (ordination hall), the interior walls are decorated with stucco murals illustrating the life of the Buddha. These artworks were crafted by the skilled artisan Mr. Phet Sithikaew, a native of Chiang Saen, Chiang Rai Province. The work began in 1986 and was completed in 1995. All the windows of the ubosot are decorated with traditional gold leaf lacquer.
