Wat Phra That Lampang Luang is one of the most revered temples in Northern Thailand, attracting numerous tourists, especially locals. It is considered a must-see temple in Northern Thailand. The temple is striking for its massive walls and its location atop an ancient, artificially raised hill. The section within the walls is centuries old and has remained largely unchanged, giving Wat Phra That Lampang Luang a unique atmosphere.

Opposite the temple is a large parking lot with numerous food stalls for tourists. Several horse-drawn carriages are also available along the main road, offering tours around the temple.

It is a large fortified temple with many buildings and an interesting museum; therefore, plan at least 45 minutes for your visit.

Inside are kept hair and ashes from Buddha's right forehead, front, and back of his head, and there is a bullet hole in the golden gate, made by the elephant Nanthip. Phra Kaew Don Tao, or Phra Kaew Morakot, is the Buddha statue of Lampang.
