Explore Wat Phra That Lampang Luang - Lanna-style Buddhist temple
Wat Phra That Lampang Luang, literally translated to “the temple of Lampang’s Great Buddha Relic”, is a centuries-old Buddhist temple in Lampang, northern Thailand. Dating back to the 13th century, this temple is one of the best examples of Lanna style architecture in Thailand. Unlike other temples restored with modern materials and building techniques, Wat Phra That Lampang Luang still remains its original state. When visiting this temple, you should not miss several interesting religious structures such as the open-sided main prayer hall - Wihan Luang, the large chedi enshrining a hair relic of the Buddha, the Wiharn Phra Phut with a beautifully carved facade, and the Wihan Nam Taem considered the oldest wooden structure in Thailand.
