\"Wat Phra Khong Ruesi\" Lamphun: Traces of the Legend of Two Hermits Who Created Hariphunchai. If we talk about the origin of Lamphun, we cannot miss \"Wat Phra Khong Ruesi,\" because according to legend, this is where Phra Ruesi Vasuthep and Phra Ruesi Sukkathant, two hermits with great asceticism, met to discuss the construction of Hariphunchai before inviting Queen Chamthewi to rule the city according to their prayers.
The magic of the pagoda and famous amulets. This temple is very important as the place where \"Phra Khong,\" a baked clay amulet with strength and beauty in the Hariphunchai style that is hard to find, was discovered. A highlight that tourists must visit is the Phra Chedi Wat Phra Khong Ruesi, a square pagoda with niches housing Buddha images in the posture of giving blessings on all four sides, reflecting the thousand-year-old civilization that still breathes to this day.
The atmosphere of a holiday worth exploring. The atmosphere inside Wat Phra Khong Ruesi is quieter and more solemn than other places. History buffs often come to see the statues of the two hermits who co-founded the city and pay respects to ask for blessings for intelligence and safety, according to the belief in the Buddhist virtues of Phra Khong.
Traveling here during the holidays will allow you to truly absorb the story of the \"beginning\" of Lamphun. It is a walk that gives both knowledge and energy back to the fullest.
