The city of Nan in Thailand has a rich history dating back to the beginnings of the Sukhothai Kingdom, which was founded in the 13th century. Wat Phumin is a Buddhist temple in the city of Nan, located in northern Thailand, and is known for its unique architecture and beautiful murals. These frescoes are a masterpiece of art and tell stories about the local history, culture, traditions and daily life of the people of Nan in earlier times. Although frescoes are a durable and long-lasting type of painting, this technique requires precision and speed, as the paint can only be applied to the wet plaster. This made fresco painting a challenging process that required great skill and expertise from the artists. Frescoes are of historical and artistic importance as they provide a valuable insight into the art and culture of past civilizations and periods. The above fresco at Wat Phumin can be found in the Viharn, the temple's prayer hall.

Wat Phumin is een boeddhistische tempel in de stad Nan, gelegen in het noorden van Thailand, en staat bekend om zijn unieke architectuur en prachtige fresco's. Fresco's zijn een oude schildertechniek die dateert uit de oudheid en vaak wordt geassocieerd met muurschilderingen in oude gebouwen, kerken en tempels.

De fresco's van Wat Phumin behoren tot de meest opmerkelijke kunstwerken in de tempel. De fresco's zijn te vinden in de Viharn, de gebedsruimte van de tempel. De Viharn heeft vier ingangen, elk met een handgesneden houten luifel met gedetailleerde versieringen en prachtige nagelsculpturen. Het interieur van de Viharn is versierd met kleurrijke en levendige fresco's die de muren bedekken en scènes uit het dagelijks leven van het volk van Nan weergeven. Ze geven een uniek inzicht in de sociale en culturele context van die periode en laten de kunstenaars hun talent en vaardigheid zien.
