Spectacular!
Not all that far out of Chiang Mai is Lamphun where this magnificent temple is situated. We were particularly lucky as our visit coincided with the Lloy Krathong festival so the grounds of the temple were full of thousands of lanterns. It really was a breath taking display. It was also very busy with people buying and hanging the lanterns and , as most temples, there were many food stalls and stalls selling Buddhist mementos. Away from the various Buddhist festivals, it will be much quieter and also, therefore, much easier to park. We allowed about an hour and a half there which was ample time to see most of the temple buildings and grounds. Well worth visiting.

Large complex with much to see
Housing relics of the Buddha, this large complex offers much to see. The temple hall itself was busy as our visit coincided with a Buddhist festival, but there are still many quiet corners of the grounds to take a breather in the shade. A handy guide that you get when you pay the modest entrance fee explains the various constructions on the site. The golden stupa behind the prayer hall is quite spectacular an exemplar of the Lanna style of northern Thailand.
