Today, we will take you on a tour of beautiful temples in the ancient city of Hariphunchai, Lamphun. Lamphun is an ancient city with many beautiful temples. Today, we will visit two of these beautiful temples.

Wat Chamthewi, formerly known as Wat Ku Kut, is called Ku Kut because its top part has fallen off. This temple is located in the city and is an ancient temple built around 1298 AD by Lawa artisans.

The Ratana Chedi, located to the right of the Vihara, was built around the 17th Buddhist century by Phraya Sanp Sip. The chedi is an octagonal brick and stucco structure.

The temple houses the Suwanna Jangkot pagoda, a square-shaped pagoda in the style of the Mahabodhi Temple in India. Each side features standing Buddha statues in the Lopburi style, with 15 statues in each of the four niches, totaling 60 statues. The pagoda contains the ashes of Queen Chama Thewi and was originally topped with a gold-plated spire.

The Phra That Hariphunchai Woramahawihan Temple, a first-class royal temple of the Woramahawihan type, was built in the 17th Buddhist century. Located in the heart of Lamphun city, it has been a revered temple for centuries. It is the designated Phra That for those born in the year of the Rooster. Before entering the temple grounds, one must pass through an intricately decorated brick and stucco archway, a testament to the craftsmanship of the Srivijaya era. In front of the archway stand two majestic lions, sculpted during the reign of King Athitayarat, who offered his palace as a monastery.

The translation of "วิหารหลวง" is "royal temple".

The inner sanctum houses three large gilded brick-and-mortar Buddha statues on a glass pedestal, along with several smaller cast-metal Buddha statues from the early and middle Chiang Saen periods.

The Bell Tower

The Bell Tower, located northeast of the Hariphunchai Relics, served as a structure for hanging large bells and gongs.

The Phra That Hariphunchai, a magnificent Lanna-style stupa, enshrines a relic of the Buddha's hair encased in a golden casket.

After paying respects at the temple, I went to admire the beautiful gold-woven fabrics, bought some local products, and had a delicious bowl of stewed pork with longan noodles (Wiang Yong style) at a restaurant opposite Wat Phra That Hariphunchai.

Exquisite handwoven silk with intricate Lamphun Dok pattern, renowned for its beauty. Each piece costs around ten thousand baht.
