Here's the English translation: --- Wat Ton Kaew is a small temple tucked away in a charming alley on the other side of the river, just across the bridge from Wat Phra That Haripunchai. The temple is worth seeing, especially for its painted gate and the surrounding wall adorned with beautiful street art. It's located just beyond one of the most beautiful intersections in all of Lamphun! After visiting Wat Phra That Haripunchai, I highly recommend crossing the bridge. There's sometimes a small night market there, but during the day the street is very pleasant, with shops selling local handicrafts as souvenirs, a restaurant serving the famous longan noodle soup—the signature fruit of Lamphun province—and a beautiful intersection with walls decorated with great street art. There's very little traffic. Also, be sure to visit Wat Ton Kaew, which, in addition to its magnificent gates, houses a weaving workshop. It's the most picturesque part of the Ban Wiang Yong district.

Here is the English translation: --- No entry fee. If you have decided to include some time in the city of Lamphun as part of your Thailand tour, you can explore the Ban Wiang Yong district – the historical quarter of Nakhon Haripunchai, the old town of Lamphun – more extensively on foot.

Like the rest of the Ban Wiang Yong area, this area is also very easy to explore on foot. Everything between Wat Haripunchai, Pratu Ta Nang, and this area is reachable in less than 10 minutes on foot.

Wat Ton Kaew and its surroundings are a temple complex. When visiting a temple in Thailand, there are some rules to observe: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), remove shoes upon entering the building, be quiet, no hugging or kissing, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, and do not smoke.
