If you&rsquo;ve done all there is to do in Chiang Mai and taken trips to<a href="https://thetripguru.com/tour/doi-inthanon-national-park-nature-trails" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Doi inthanon</a> and <a href="https://thetripguru.com/tour/wat-phra-that-doi-suthep-half-day-sunset-tour-chiang-mai-temples" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Doi Suthep</a>, you might be wondering what else there is to do in the region. The answer is the sleepy province of Lamphun, known for its authentic local life and lesser-visited (yet no less impressive) temples.

After departing Chiang Mai, we&rsquo;ll arrive at Lamphun where we&rsquo;ll enjoy a horse and cart ride, then explore the main sights. These include

Prathat Lampang Luang Temple: Dating back to the 13th century, this revered temple is highly important to Buddhists. It&rsquo;s thought that the Buddha himself visited here 2,500 years ago and left behind a single hair which is now encased inside a relic. &lsquo;Til today it tops any list of things to do in Lampang

&ldquo;Wat Phra That in Lamphang is truly a &lsquo;must see&rsquo;... bask in the flow of curiosity, and calm, and color, and architecture, and grand setting that is Phra That!&rdquo; &mdash;&nbsp;<a href="https://en.tripadvisor.com.hk/ShowUserReviews-g303911-d553852-r721092084-Wat_Phra_That_Lampang_Luang-Lampang_Lampang_Province.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">David, Texas (USA)</a> 

[[02-tours/Hariphun_Chai_Temple.jpg]]

Hariphun Chai Temple: This giant gold stupa dating back to the 11th century can be seen from afar. It&rsquo;s just as impressive once you get up close thanks to the detailed carvings and serene flower gardens.&nbsp;

&ldquo;This is a fabulous temple, on par with Doi Suthep. It&rsquo;s very worth a half day trip... complex is more peaceful and serene than you are likely to find in more tourist heavy areas.&rdquo; &mdash; <a href="https://en.tripadvisor.com.hk/ShowUserReviews-g790335-d550729-r664122919-Wat_Phra_That_Hariphunchai-Lamphun_Lamphun_Province.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Justin, Shanghai (China)</a>

[[02-tours/Lamphun_and_Lampang_City_Temples_4.jpg]]

Jamdevi Temple: Locally known as Wat Ku Kut, this stone temple built in Ayutthaya style is surrounded by 60 standing Buddha statues. Visited by only a handful of tourists a day, this is the perfect place to feel at peace and snap impressive photos with no one in the way!

Wat Phra Chedi Sao Lang: Literally translated to &lsquo;Monastery of twenty stupas&rsquo;, Was Phra Chedi Sao Lang is said to be over a thousand years old. This cluster of 20 Lanna and Burmese style pagodas also houses a 15th century solid gold Buddha image.
