Lamphun Tour from Chiang
Mai
Tour Itinerary: It would be fascinating to take a side trip from Chiang Mai to visit Lamphun, an ancient city founded sometime between 660 and 760 A.D. which was rebuilt in the early 16th century. The inner city of Lamphun is still encircled by the city's moats and walls built at that time. You will be amazed that this small and quiet city was once a capital of a great pre-Thai Kingdom, the Hariphunchai, more than a century ago. It enjoyed independence until it was conquered and incorporated into the Thai Lanna Kingdom in 1281. A glimpse of the past can be seen at the two most important wats, Wat Phrathat Hariphunchai where we can see the great pagoda which its top was placed with gold weighing approximately 6,498.75 grams, and Wat Jarmmathewee (the temple was named after the queen who first ruled the Hariphunchai city). Next, call at Pasang noted for Thailand's most beautiful women and most skillful in cotton weaving town.
