| Legend handed down for more than 1,400
years refer to this ancient town as Hariphunchai. Its first ruler
was Queen Chamthewi who was of Mon extraction. In late 12th century,
 King Mengrai overran
the town and subsequently integrated it into the Lanna Kingdom.
Today, Lamphun still retain its enchanting ambience of a small
but old community. It is some 670 kilometres from Bangkok and only
26 kilometres from Chiang Mai. Located on the bank of the Kuang
River, its attractions include ancient sites and relics as well
as forests and mountains and delightful lakes. Lamphun is the most
famous producer of longans.
