Lamphun

Once leaving Chiang Mai’s city centre, the scenery slowly turns into a more local one, filled with roadside villages with ample farmland reaching as far as the eye can see. The leisurely drive towards Lamphun takes approximately 45 min. The small historic town of Lamphun is a traditional provincial town off the beaten tourist tracks. Located about 30 kilometres south of Chiang Mai, Lamphun was founded by the rulers of the Mon Kingdom of Haripoonchai and is home to the famous Wat Phrathat Haripoonchai, the oldest and holiest temple in the region.

From this base, you will explore a protected forest, home to spices and herbs that are still used to treat remedies of all sorts and with the assistance of a local guide, learn more about the medicinal values. The local school is very much into teaching how to recycle material such as plastic and paper and you will have the chance to take part in the importance of these environmental-friendly teachings (closed on weekends and public holidays)

Wat Chamthewi Temple (Wat Ku Kut)

We say goodbye to the residents and move back in the direction of Chiang Mai but not before we pay respect to one of the most revered queens of the region – Queen Chamadhevi. The temple that commemorates her work and bravery during the Lanna Kingdom is found at the temple bearing the same name. The 60 stunning Buddha images around the Chedi are among the main attraction points of the temple which makes it a popular site for the local community.

We arrive within the city borders of Chiang Mai in the late afternoon at around 4 pm.
