I loved the view at the temple. For me it was by far the most magnificent temple near Chiang Mai. I would rather refer to this temple as the temple of colorful lanterns. Pros 1. Plenty of free parking space with on-site staff to help. 2. Low ticket prices, though I don't remember paying anything but it could be because of any Thai religious day. 3. Really colorful and eye-catching enviornment because of hundreds of colorful lanterns. 4. Several photo opportunities. 5. The temple itself is magnificent with several big idols of lord Buddha. 6. The temple is really well maintained. 7. It is crowded but it is pleasant and a must visit at the same time. 8. There is a clean toilet. 9. There is a mini street market for food lovers. 10. You might buy a lanterns and hang it around with your wish, who knows it might come true 🤞. Cons 1. Maybe the congestion on the road but not sure if it should be a consideration.

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

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

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.

This temple is absolutely beautiful. The people and monks in the temple are very friendly. I believe if you come weekend it gets more busy

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.

This is a very old wat, dating from the time of the Haripunchai Kingdom. The main chedi is unusual in that it is square-shaped - it used to feature on the one-satang coin (the chedi at Wiang Kum Kam is modelled on it). The wat is well cared for and a calm place to wander around.

Definitely a worthwhile place to pay visit. This temple is more than a thousand year old and is most revered by Lampoon people.

Beautiful wat with ancient structures including an ancient chedi. Foreigners are charged 50/- while Thais are allowed free entry. 🙄

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.

One of Thailand Hetitage. Must Visit when arrive Lamphun. The old Golden stupa that the legend told more than 1,000 years. The main temple in front of stupa the history write it more than 500 years that full of Buddha history painting inside/ outside the temple. Gong Tower. And many old building in Wat Phra That Hariphunchai. This is the must visit in Northern Thailand. Place 5/5 Clean 5/5 Manage 5/5 Value 5/5 Convenient 5/5

This is the Buddha temple at Lampoon. When you want to walk around the Pagoda, no shoes just slipper and quite hot. The local people are very warm welcome for us. Be of luck for everyone. Especially year of Hen.

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.
