What you can expect

Escape Chiang Mai and depart for the Lamphun province, the old capital of the Hariphunchai Empire. Visit the ancient temples of Wat Phra That Hariphunchai and Wat Chamadevi, appreciating these relics for the glimpse they provide into Thailand's rich cultural history.

Your journey begins with a drive through a beautiful corridor of old gum trees towards the quiet, historic capital of the 7th century Hariphunchai Empire. Lamphun, formerly Hariphunchai, is among the oldest cities in Thailand and predates Chiang Mai by several centuries.

Make your first stop at Wat Phra That Hariphunchai and marvel at the two beautiful old chedis. These temples contain elements of the original Hariphunchai architectural style, dating all the way back to the 12th century. Continue your tour at the Wat Chamadevi and appreciate the quaint and serene ambiance of this 10th-century temple.

Stop to take some pictures of traditional Buddhist architecture and admire scenic views before making your way back to Chiang Mai.
