• Chiang Mai - 09:00 AM – Begin your journey from your hotel in Chiang Mai, heading south towards Lamphun, the ancient capital of the Hariphunchai Kingdom. Established in 660 A.D., Lamphun is recognized as one of Thailand’s oldest cities.

• Wat Phra That Hariphunchai - Your first stop is Wat Phra That Hariphunchai, the most esteemed temple in the province. This Royal Temple, constructed in 897 by a Lamphun king, is celebrated for its impressive 51-meter golden pagoda, which houses a genuine Buddha relic brought from India. Within the temple grounds, you’ll also discover a sacred Buddha footprint, a beautifully crafted teakwood library containing ancient Pali scriptures, an old Lanna-style chedi, and one of Thailand’s largest call-to-prayer gongs.
