Wat Sri Mongkol, also known as Wat Kong, is located in the Yom subdistrict, Tha Wang Pha district, Nan province. It is an old temple, for whose construction royal land was provided in 1852.

Currently, Phra Khru Rangsi Thammanan is the abbot of Wat Sri Mongkol-Kong and has continuously developed the temple. Today, it is not only a center for spreading the teachings of Buddha, but also a significant tourist attraction in the Tha Wang Pha district due to its beauty and the surrounding landscape. Behind the temple is a viewpoint offering breathtaking views of lush green rice paddies and the imposing Doi Phu Kha mountain range.

Accommodations and the Hug Na Nan café are located along the rice paddies. A bamboo bridge connects the temple to the rice fields, inviting visitors to stroll and take photographs. The viewing area offers several arches and photo spots, as well as a café with a traditional Thai ambiance for relaxation. Inside the temple, you'll find interesting details, including the main chapel with beautiful murals in the style of Nan Buaphan, a painter from Nan province who belonged to the Tai Lue dynasty.
