In addition to the Phra That, there are many other interesting places in the temple, such as the Wihan Phra Chao Tan Jai, Wihan Phra Chao Ong Daeng, the Four Buddha Footprints, the Rahu Deity, and the Navel of Lamphun for you to pay homage to. Another place you shouldn’t miss taking pictures of is the double lion arch in front of the temple. If you come during the Loi Krathong festival, the temple will hold a hundred thousand lanterns event, decorated with beautiful multi-colored Lanna lanterns. This is another landmark worth taking pictures of. When you are satisfied with your prayers, come recharge at the restaurants and coffee shops behind the temple. The road behind the temple is a cultural street with many coffee shops and restaurants located on Inthayongyot Road. Let’s start with Signature Coffee Lamphun, a coffee shop with affordable prices but great quality! Next to the coffee shop, we had to refuel at the Thai Chicken Rice shop.

Next to that is the Temple House Lamphum coffee shop, which is a good place to sit and cool off. The shop is spacious and comfortable to sit in. On the upper floor is an art gallery that you can go up and see for free. After we were no longer tired, we walked to the Hariphunchai National Museum, Lamphun, which tells the story of the long history of Hariphunchai. The exhibition is considered very well done. After the museum, we stopped by to eat ice cream at Chompoonuch shop and took a photo with the pink building, which is another landmark before we stopped to pay homage to the most famous amulet of the "Lamphun family" at Wat Mahawan, which is Phra Rod Lamphun, for good luck. Then we stopped to pay homage at Wat Chamdevi, which has a pagoda that is believed to enshrine the relics of Queen Chamadevi. In addition, there is also a shrine of the relics of Khru Ba Chao Sriwichai in the temple area. Before returning, we stopped to pay homage at the Queen Chamadevi Monument. Behind Nong Dok Market, if you go in the evening at 6:00 PM, there is an evening market with a shop called Ja Lao, fried pork, which is worth queuing for because the fried pork with nam phrik num is sooo delicious.

History and Background - Phra That Hariphunchai is one of the most important religious sites in the North and is the pride of the people of Lamphun. It is located in Wat Phra That Hariphunchai in the heart of Lamphun. Inside the temple is a wide courtyard with many chapels and a beautiful bell tower. According to legend, it was built during the reign of King Athitayarat, King of Hariphunchai, around 1586 B.E. Later, this chedi was renovated several times. During the reign of King Tilokarat in 1986 B.E., he ordered the chedi to be increased to 23 wa, with a base 12 wa and 2 sok wide, and a 7-tiered umbrella at the top. After that, Phra Muang Kaew renovated and built a gallery of 500 spears, which is a fence around the chedi. He then built the royal chapel. In 1786 B.E., King Kawila renovated the chedi. And he built a royal umbrella at 4 corners and built a golden umbrella on the top of the pagoda with 9 layers. The base of the pagoda is a square with a width of 10 wa on each side. He built a brass fence around the pagoda. The inside of the pagoda is a bright gold color, which is very attractive to tourists from other provinces who have the opportunity to visit. Lamphun Province has organized an annual worship festival on the full moon day of the 6th month, which is Visakha Bucha Day. #Wat Phra That Hariphunchai #Phra That Hariphunchai #Visit Lamphun #Worship the pagoda of your birth date #Worship the Buddha to enhance your fortune #Lamphun Province #Review Lamphun

Not far from Lamphun city, there is a village community with Wat Ban Luk. This temple was built in 1782. Legend has it that the ruler of Hariphunchai led an army to attack the enemy in Chiang Tung, Burma. When he was victorious, he drove the people from Yong back to Hariphunchai. There was an unnamed monk who lived in a temple called "Wat Ban Luk" in Yong. This monk had magical knowledge and established a temple north of Hariphunchai to serve as a front line to meet the enemy who came to attack Hariphunchai. Behind the chapel is a very old and beautiful Tripitaka Hall or Dharma Hall. Inside is also a museum. On the upper floor is a dhamma chest containing palm-leaf manuscripts and Sa paper stamps, which are ancient dhamma chests that are still in the most complete condition. It is definitely worth a visit. #Get a discount without relying on luck #What's good in Lamphun #Lamphun is not alone #Lamphun #Old temples #Old temples of the city
