Wat Lai Hin Luang
วัดไหล่หินหลวง
A well-preserved early Lanna wooden Buddha hall with simple, ancient roof carvings. It received a Thai architectural conservation award.
This temple lies in a village about 6 kilometers west of Wat Phra That Lampang Luang. Its main hall is a small wooden Buddha hall in 16th-century Lanna style. The low, multi-tiered roof, finely carved gable woodwork, and paintings are well preserved, making it an excellent example for studying early Lanna architecture. It received a conservation award from the Siam Association of Architects in Thailand. A small museum inside displays ancient Buddha images and scriptures. With few visitors and a peaceful atmosphere, it pairs well with a visit to Lampang Luang Temple. Admission is free.
