Wat Phrathat Haripunchai in Lamphun

A couple of our Thai friends offered to take us on day trip. We visited the beautiful Wat Phrathat Haripunchai in Lamphun, just outside of Chiang Mai. This temple is one of the most famous temples in Northern Thailand. The chedi is said to be built on the site of Queen Chamadevi’s palace. Construction on the chedi probably began in the late ninth century, but it was enlarged at the beginning of the 12th century.
