Lamphun



Lamphun
Lamphun often plays poor step-sister to Chiang Mai, just 26 kilometers away. Even though its older than Chiang Mai by about 500 years and is the capital of its own province, the town is generally only visited as a day trip from Chiang Mai. It is a small town, with some significant sights, but there really isn't much here to occupy you for more than a day.
Lamphun is one of Thailand's oldest continuously occupied towns. It was founded in 660 by Queen Chama Devi, the daughter of the King of Luovo (now known as Lopburi). She founded the Haripunjaya Kingdom, which became the most powerful Mon center in the North for hundreds of years. It wasn't until 1281 that the city finally came under the influence of the Lanna Kingdom founded by King Mengrai, who made Chiang Mai its capital.
