Lamphun
ลำพูน
Lamphun claims to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in Thailand, founded over 1,300 years ago as the capital of the Mon Hariphunchai Kingdom. The province's crown jewel is Wat Phra That Hariphunchai, whose 46-metre golden chedi is one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in the north. Despite its proximity to Chiang Mai, Lamphun maintains a quieter pace of life, with longan orchards forming the backbone of its agricultural economy alongside a growing industrial park sector.
