Experience a thousand years of Buddhist art at "Wat Chamdevi", a valuable heritage of Hariphunchai. If you are a history buff who loves ancient art, "Wat Chamdevi", or what the locals call Wat Ku Kut, is a must-see destination for your holiday. This temple is not only an ancient religious site in Lamphun Province, but it is also the location of the relics of Queen Chama Thewi, the first monarch of Hariphunchai.
Important highlights to see with your own eyes:
Phra Chedi Suwan Changkot (Square Pagoda): A square-shaped pagoda stacked in the style of Buddhagaya, valuable with Dvaravati art combined with Lanna, each floor has a niche enshrining 60 Buddha images in the posture of giving blessings. The broken top of the pagoda is the origin of the name "Ku Kut".
Chedi Rattana (Octagonal Pagoda): Located near the Viharn, it is a very rare octagonal pagoda. It is assumed to have been influenced by Khmer and Dvaravati art. It is uniquely beautiful and remains in relatively complete condition.
Holiday atmosphere: The temple is shady and peaceful, perfect for walking around admiring the architecture and taking cultural photos. The diffused sunlight falling on the laterite surface of the pagoda in the afternoon will make your photos look especially powerful and magical.
Wat Chamdevi is a place that perfectly combines faith and historical knowledge. Anyone who comes to Lamphun and wants to experience the true roots of Lanna must check in here.
