Wat San Pa Yang Luang - Oldest Temple in Northern Thailand Built in 541 - Lamphun 2024
This is a little known but very beautiful temple compound north of the moat enclosing the old town. It was originally the site of the first Buddhist temple in northern Thailand, dating from 541, long before the old city's foundation. Queen Chamathewi is said to have prayed here often and was cremated here when she died.
The original buildings have long since disappeared and those in Wat Sun Pa Yang Luang, its modern replacements, have been constructed in the last two decades. The compound contains a few wihans and shrines in the classic Lanna architectural style. The elegant smaller shrines feature layered, sloping dark roofs with gold trimmed edges. Many multi tiered white chedis stand in the yard, as well as a huge bell tower.
The buildings are all ornately decorated with sculpted figures of Buddhist angels, elephants, nagas and dragon headed lions.
Located between the main road to Chiang Mai and the railway line, it is seldom visited by tourists, but well worth it to see classic temple art that has survived into the modern age.
