Year of the Rooster : Phra That Hariphunchai

Year of the Rooster
Sited in Lamphun mid-town, Wat Phra That Hariphunchai was built during the reign of King Arthitayarat, a descendant of Queen Chamthewi some 800 years ago. A principal landmark is the 46-metre tall golden Chedi whose present appearance was the result of the restoration work in 1443 by a king of Chiang Mai. It has long been regarded as a major place of worship. Other architectural works include the ancient-style brick arch adorned with fine designs and the pair of sculptured lions at the door. There are also a square-shaped Chedi and a Khmer-style Buddha statue. It is open at 6 a.m.-6 p.m. The entrance fee is 20 baht. Visit www.hariphunchaitemple.org for more information.
