Tales of Lamphun:
Tales of Lamphun is a full day cycling excursion that takes you trough the beautiful province of Lamphun. During this unforgettable cycling excursion over peaceful country roads, passing by rice fields, fruit orchards and beautiful temples in small villages you will get to know the rich cultural background of this first Lanna kingdom.
The tour starts daily 8:00am from our office in Pa-Dead and takes us southwards following the Ping river over quiet roads and trough small villages while cycling and enjoying the beautiful changing surroundings. The route goes for a big part trough these small communities where we see the daily activities of the villagers and avoid most of the traffic.
In Lamphun we pass by cycling 2 beautiful Dvaravati styled chedi’s. These chedi’s are known for holding the relics of Queen Cham Devi her horse and elephant and are more than 1000 years old. To learn more about the history of this city we visit the Harinpunchai museum that will give us more insight of this remarkable place. After this visit it is time for a delicious Thai lunch. After lunch we have a look at a local temple where older woman keep them selves occupied with weaving of clothes.
We continue our trip by visiting one of the most revered temples in Northern Thailand: Wat Harinpunchai. After visiting and photographing this beautiful temple we leave the city behind us. We continue our discovery tour trough rice fields and fruit orchards till we reach the Ping river again here a boat is waiting for us. Together with our bikes we embark the boat that will bring us upstream so we can have a rest and enjoy watching the daily activities on the riverbanks.
After this mini cruise we set foot on land and visit a local market where we will have a drink and some snacks before we cycle the last part back to the office where we will arrive at approximate 4:30pm.
