The Terracotta Garden At Lamphun

Nan Bang, Thailand has three treasures: horse carriage parade, chicken pot, and stir-fried minced meat with chili and basil. "Fragrant Meat Kitchen" is the world champion of Thai fried rice. The handmade chicken bowls in the Danbodi Ceramic Museum can make 30 chicken bowls per person every day. The carriage shuttles through Sam Phran, the old trading street when the Chinese migrated to northern Thailand. #City Humanities Notes It takes an hour to drive from Nan Bang to Nan Phung. When not splashing water, the small town in northern Thailand is wrapped in tradition, art, and food. The coffee at papacraft cafe is certainly good, but the real highlight of this art shop lies in the handmade and creative inspiration. Two generations of artists, father and son, combine local natural gems and leather to create unique jewelry and artworks. #Niche Discovery Society As a transit point in northern Thailand, Nan Phung can easily obtain fresh ingredients from the ocean, so the seafood barbecue here has become a feature of urban cuisine. The "invasion" of foreign culture and materials, including seafood, is accepted, reduced, and sprouted into new local good things here. #Ancient towns and villages worth visiting In the suburbs of Nan Bang, a large Buddha statue that looks exactly like the Great Buddha of Kamakura sits on the top of the mountain. It is also called the Thai version of the Great Buddha of Kamakura. The Terracotta Garden in Nan Bang, which was rebuilt from an old kiln, is both a restaurant and a cultural center. The owner said: At first glance, it looks like Angkor Wat, but it is completely based on local elements.

A while ago, the internet was full of this shop, known as the Little Angkor Wat in Chiang Mai. It is close to the small town of Nanben in the south of Mai Village. The huge pagoda and exquisite statues look quite similar. I feel that it should be very photogenic, so I have to arrange it. Although the distance is not close and it takes almost an hour to ride a bike, the sun is bright and the pastoral scenery along the way is quite beautiful. The main feature is a slow pace. You will pass by several very beautiful temples on the way, which are also worth stopping to see, so it is not boring at all. Finally, after nine twists and turns, we finally arrived at the destination. It was almost sunset. The first feeling was that it was really big. From the gate to the cafe, there was still a long way (there were statues on both sides of the gate 🗿, you knew you had arrived when you saw them), but the next impression was that it was so empty. The whole park (it's a bit inappropriate to call it a cafe because it's so big) is divided into two parts, one is the cafe with a large yard next to it, and the other is a big pagoda on the other side of the lake. It's really beautiful and good for taking pictures, but after all, it's all Z elements, a bit monotonous, and the space is too big and there are not many things, so it's a bit empty. The prices of things here are of course very expensive, and coffee starts at 100+. After all, it costs a lot of money to build such a big place, which is understandable. Finally, I want to mention that the statues of mythical beasts here are really vivid, and they are divided into male and female (there is a surprise in the last picture 😂) Practical information: Store name: The Terracotta Garden at Lamphun Business hours: 9:00-18:00 every day Overall recommendation index: ⭐⭐⭐ The menu has an introduction to the owner of this store and the history of the entire park, but I don't speak English well and didn't read it carefully.

【Lamphun】: Although small, Lamphun is the earliest city in northern Thailand to establish a kingdom. Lamphun was founded by Queen Chamadevi of the Kemer people, about 500 years earlier than Chiang Mai, and was called Haribuncha in ancient times. The Terracotta Garden in Lamphun was built by a large gentry family in Lamphun. The garden covers an area of ​​about 960 acres and strives to restore the Kemer-style architecture and garden style. The clay used in the garden comes from the red mud at the bottom of the Lamphun River where three rivers meet. The texture and color make these buildings solid and have bright colors. This Terracotta Garden Cafe is also a favorite location for many crews. It appears in many advertisements and MVs. In addition to the cafe at the entrance of the garden, there are Kemer-style pagodas and some red brick buildings, pavilions, bridges, pools, etc., as well as various special tropical plants collected by the owner from all over the world. The owner's terracotta brick kiln is also in the garden. In addition to being used to build his own garden, it also accepts some architectural customization projects. [Opening hours]: Open from 9:00 to 18:00 every day. The cafe offers some specially brewed coffee and light meals. No tickets are required. [Transportation strategy]: If you drive or charter a car, it takes about 40 minutes from Chiang Mai, and the whole journey is on the main road. If you don't have a chartered car, it is recommended to take other means of transportation to Lamphun first, and then take a taxi. Because some apps do not support inter-provincial taxis. You can also experience taking a train from Chiang Mai to Lamphun and feel the scenery along the way. [Itinerary]: It doesn't take too long to go to the garden alone. You can go to the market in Lamphun, visit the Haribuncha Temple, which was once the palace of the Lamphun King, and the Chamadevi Temple where the queen's ashes are buried. Lamphun is also a large longan producing area, and you can try the local longan products. [Tips]: When you enter the garden, because the plants are dense, there are a lot of water bodies, and there are a lot of mosquitoes, you need to prepare some mosquito repellent in advance, and wear as long clothes as possible.
