Description:

On this guided tour admire Lamphun which was founded as the capital of the Hariphunchai kingdom in the 9th century. Witness the ancient architecture and lush countryside with prominent rice fields and orchards, visit 2 ancient temples, and stroll through a busy market.

In Lamphun step into Wat Phra That Hariphunchai to see the Lanna-style temple's 9th-century Mon architecture and get a glimpse of the impressive number of viharns (Buddhist monasteries) decorated in magnificent gold.

Stop at Wat Cham Devi, built in the name of Queen Chama Devi, and marvel at the unusual, square-shaped pagoda from the Dvaravati period that is rumored to contain the ashes of the queen. Wrap up your cultural adventure at a bustling local market where locals shop and browse the many stalls for interesting herbs and foods to purchase before you return to your Chiang Mai hotel.
