Wat Phra That Haripunchai Woramahawihan

What an amazingly beautiful place to see. Also lots of great local vendors on the outside of the temple. Make this a stop on your trip through Thailand.

Always a beautiful visit here at the wat (temple) for enjoying the weather, making merit, reflection, and meditation. We stopped here for a few minutes between appointments. Hoping the merit carries into our next meeting! #travelthailand

Very beautiful temple and grand pagoda. It's worth visiting and paying homages to various sacred places inside.

The atmosphere is great during Lantern Festival, people can buy and hang the lanterns to pray for good luck and fortune. There is a night market outside the temple, definitely worthwhile to visit.

Amazing temple, so many people putting up lanterns, I think as part of Loy Krathong, I put one up myself, such colour and was a sight to behold

Most important temple in Lamphun. Origins in nineth century. One of the Highlights in northern Thailand. Beautiful temple, very popular. Do not forget to make a donnation to the temple.
Recommended.

One of the most notable for Buddha Worship, This place is keeping Buddha FONTANEL BONE, CHEST BONE, FINGER BONE, AND OTHER PARTS.

Top of the sacret place in Bhuddha realm. Visit and pick up the candle according to your birth date and pray.

Beautiful temple and unique cultural arts.
Reaching here around 7am was not clouded.

Wat phra that haripunchai is one of the iconic temple of lamphun provide. The city is located right next to Chiangmai with a 30-45 mins drive from Chiangmai. The temple located right in the city of lamphun the architecture is beautifully crafted. There are a few buildings inside the temple with a large golden pagoda right at the back of the main building.
The architecture is unique. It’s a place where you should. Visit when you are in lamphun. During Thai festival there will be a event here do check it out :) ps. IT’s recommended for people who is born in the chicken year to come and make merit here for a blessing.

Ps there is parking inside / in front and also around the temple. Also a market right opposite and some Restaurant and cafe around the area to explore.

'Wat Phra That Haripunchai Woramahawihan' (วัดพระธาตุหริภุญชัย วรมหาวิหาร) is located in Lamphun city (drive along highway No.11, 35km from Chiang Mai downtown, that will take around 40mins)

A Buddhist temple that was a royal monastery built in 17th century, has an original Lanna Thai style stupa that is similar to Phra That Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai.

You will walk through a pair of lions that guard the temple according to the ancient belief of the north, to the archway before entering the main pagoda, the ancient craftsmanship of Sriwichai period

The temple is still in the perfect condition, you could see the original wooden structure in the pagoda, the cultural richness in architecture detail is superb

(Entrance Fee Foreigner 20THB, Open Daily 07.00 - 18.00)

This temple is magical. It’s a functional temple where people still go to pray instead of for sightseeing and taking pictures. I love the color combinations, this is what I imagine when we combine japan and Thai aesthetics. Large parking spots and best visit during dawn or dusk.

Wow, by far the most magnificent Temple in Lamphun. Many beautiful buildings on this site with lavishly decorated interiors. Easy to spend at least an hour here. There is supposed to be a 50 Bht entrance fee, but no one was collecting this, so free to enter.
Many people and Monks ceremonially parade around the Central Stupa with offering of flowers. People visiting to make merit. If you only visit one Temple in Lamphun make sure it's this one.

Best place to celebrate Loy Krathong! This year we went twice in November. For the lantern festival and then for Loy Krathong. It’s colorful and beautiful.

Beautiful architectural and peaceful place. Make sure you wear appropriate dress (required long sleeve or long pants). Try different vibes of both day and night time. There's the event right now (Sep-Oct 2020) that people can buy a colorful lantern, make a wish by writing down your prayer and hang it up on the cable.

It is a very special place, beautiful, shady and worthy of faith.

Wonderful Temple.Great for whoe love South East Asia History, Art, Cultural and architecture. Close with Chiang mai in 30 minute.
Don't Forget to enjoy with Grass jelly in front of gate of temple. So nice in hot day.

Beautifully decorated temple in preparation for the Loy Kratong festival. Beautiful lanterns everywhere. A lot of different activities to take part in and plenty of beautiful pictures to be had. Lively, even at night.

A place you cannot miss when you come to Lamphun

A beautiful, shady one hour ride on the old Route 106, known locally as the Rubber Tree Road brings you to Lamphun. A former capital of the Haripunchai Kingdom and one of the most beautiful small towns in the north of our Kingdom. Filled with beautiful Ways, his is by far the most beautiful one I have EVER visited during my combined more than 27 years of first visiting as a tourist and then living here for the past 17+ years in Chiang Mai. IMHO Wat Haripunchai is far more beautiful and much easier to get around than Doi Suthep, our CM landmark temple. My recommendation for those of you visiting CM for a week or more is to travel to Lamphun for at least one day, stroll through the beautiful town, enjoy seeing the moat, the decorative street lamps, the local crafts and visit Wat Phra That Haripunchai. You won't regret taking a "time out from CM" during your holiday I guarantee it!

Beautiful and full of histories. Dated back to 11th Century, this is one of the oldest historical sites in Lamphun. It is well-preserved and worth going over to take a look or pay respect. The atmosphere is filled with Lanna culture and tradition.
