Our first stop is Jamdevi Temple (Wat Cham Thawi), home to a chedi surrounded by arches holding 60 Buddha statues; Queen Chama Devi’s ashes are said to be found inside. The unusual square ‘stepped pyramid’ pagoda is the oldest surviving example of its kind from the Dvaravati period ruling much of Thailand from the 6th to 11th centuries.

Wat Phra That Hariphunchai
1 hour 30 minutes
We’ll head to Wat Prathat Hariphunchai – a fantastic 9th-century temple complex by the river. Said to be Lamphun’s biggest, oldest and most attractive temple compound, Hariphunchai Temple got its name from the Mon Kingdom city that ruled this part of northern Thailand from the 9th-13th centuries.
