Important ancient sites in Wat Phra Yuen include the Wat Phra Yuen Chedi, built in 1606 during the reign of King Athitayarat, who cast a bronze Maha Patimakorn statue 18 cubits high and enshrined it at Wat Phra Yuen.

#Winter travel destinations - Wat Phra Yuen originally did not have this name. It is assumed that Queen Chamadevi built it around 1213 (after reigning for 7 years). According to legend, this temple was called Aranyikaram. - The name of Wat Phra Yuen comes from the standing Buddha statue, which according to temple documents states was built in 1606 during the reign of King Thammarat (the 32nd king of Hariphunchai). This standing Buddha statue was cast from bronze and is 18 cubits (9 meters) high. It was originally enshrined in the Stupa (behind the temple). At this time, the temple was called Wat Phuttharam. - The temple was originally built during the reign of Queen Chamadevi before undergoing its most recent renovation in 1994. Inside is an old principal Buddha statue from the same era as the temple. Inside are newly painted murals by local craftsmen depicting the life of the Buddha. There is a small standing Buddha statue enshrined in the principal Buddha statue. The ordination hall at the entrance stairs has a Mom statue. The principal Buddha image is Phra Sakyamuni Sri Sumana or Luang Pho Yai.

This is an amazing place that I highly recommend visiting while shouting out. So you can enjoy seeing him well. A smelly place worth visiting Wat Phra Yuen temple is the art of Phokam. Upstairs, there's a small temple around the corner. The object is a square with stretched edges on all four sides. On top of the item, there is a surface supporting a set of bases stacked on the bell top. The new pagoda that originally covered it. King Li Yong Yau Su Chao, who ruled Nakorn Lamphun, was a good artist and designer, and he gave the wisdom of the Nong Saeng people and supervised the construction. 📍Wat Phra Yuen, Lamphun
