This is the iconic temple of Lamphun and also one of the most important in this part of Thailand, which was once an independent kingdom. With its large golden chedi, it's a magnificent Buddhist temple, a must-see if you visit Lamphun!

This cafe is almost a historical site. It houses magnificent buildings inspired by Khmer art, and everything was made in a traditional, artisanal way... for over 10 years!

Wat Ton Kaew and surrounding area

วัดต้นแก้ว

This is what could be called the old town of Lamphun, named Nakhon Haripunchai. The most picturesque part is just opposite Wat Haripunchai Temple, on the other side of the bridge, up to Wat Ton Kaew.

This gate is one of the few remaining vestiges of the fortifications of the old city of Lamphun. Beautifully restored, on the riverbank, it is located near Wat Phra That Haripunchai.
