Lamphun
Lamphun is a small but historically rich province in northern Thailand. It is home to significant sites that have stood untouched since the Hariphunchai era thousands of years ago. Among the most important religious sites in Lamphun town are Wat Phra That Hariphunchai Woramahawihan, the Chamadevi Monument commemorating Queen Chamadevi, the first queen of Hariphunchai, and Ku Chang Ku Ma, known as War Ma (Horses) War Cemetery. Other historical sites located on the same grounds, and equally beautiful, include Wat San Pa Luang, the Lamphun Community Museum, Wat Ko Klang, and Wat Cham Dhevi (also called Ku Kut Temple). All of these bear witness to the golden age of Buddhism in this region. Beyond the town's rich history, visitors should be sure to sample the delicious sweet longan fruit and purchase silk flowers, a popular souvenir from the province.
Appropriate attire is required for entry to the Phra That Hariphunchai temple. Women are not permitted to wear trousers or short skirts while venerating the relics.
For a cruise on the Ping River, you should pack sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, snacks, and drinking water, as the return trip takes about two hours. You should also wear a life jacket for the entire duration of the trip.
The best source for handwoven fabrics in Lamphun province is the Ban Wiang Yong weaving mill. They offer woven fabrics made of silk, cotton, and other materials, as well as ready-made patterns and various household items such as bags, pouches, tissue boxes, etc.
Phetchabun is a small province, but it has the richest history and is the oldest in the Lanna region. It is known as "Hariphunchai City," with Queen Chamadevi being the city's first ruler (formerly known as Hariphunchai City).
Lamphun is not only an ancient city, but also a modern center for longan fruit cultivation and the production of high-quality woven fabrics. The Lamphun province offers numerous interesting sights, including temples, archaeological sites, natural beauty, and art and cultural attractions.
