This Lanna-style temple is located 21 km from Lampang city, near Ko Kha to be more accurate. It is symbolic of Lampang province. On a small hill, Wat Phra That Lampang Luang is surrounded by a fortification wall dating from the 8th century which gives it the aspect of a citadel. Buildings inside the walls have been built in the 15th century. YOu acces them by a long staircase with two nagas shape handrails. Wat Phra That Lampang Luang has a very simple architecture comparing to most temples in the region. It consists of a wide wihaan - the Wihaan Luang - open on the sides which houses a gilded ku, Lao-style pagoda, containing one Buddha surrounded by two smaller halls, a 45 meters high chedi covered with copper and bronze leaves oxidized by the years with a golden covered tip, another whihaan - Wiharn Phra Phut - and a small white building - the Ho Phra Phuttabat - which houses a Buddha footprint and is prohibited to women. Note that in the Ho Phra Phuttabat, which must be 2 meters square, when you close the door, a mirror image of the temple is formed on the wall or the white sheet suspended there thanks to a camera obscura penomenon.
