DESCRIPTION:Description: \nSalak Yom in Lamphun is an annual event held in September\, among the ethnic “Yong” of Lamphun Province. The Salak Yom Festival features the presentation of elaborately decorated “trees of gifts” to the Buddhist monks and novices of Wat Phathat Hariphunchai. The tall bamboo pole\, the centerpiece of the ritual is decorated with thousands of brightly colored tufted rods\, palm leaf manuscript holder\, foodstuffs and money\, the lower halves of the tree are decorated with daily objects\, cooking utensils\, cloths\, fruits\, vegetable and various kind of containers. Originally\, the Salak Yom festival was a rite of passage for young women in ethnic Yong society. The tree was prepared and offered by women. Salak Yom was considered to be equal to the merit gained from ordaining as a Buddhist monk. \nItinerary: \n8.30  Vans leave for Lamphun from Lifelong Learning Payap Center \n9.00  Arrive at Wat Phathat Hariphunchai\, the royal temple of Lamphun. The temple origins date from the 11th century but the central stupa is thought to originate in the 9th century. This temple was first rebuilt in 1443 by King Tilokaraja of Lanna kingdom Chiang Mai. At the temple participants will have the unique opportunity to observe the Salak Yom festival. \n10.00  Walk (or ride in the van) to the near-by National Museum of Lamphun.

The exhibition of antiques is divided into 3 periods: prehistoric\, Hariphunchai\, and Lanna\, and contains Buddha statues\, Buddha images’ heads\, deities\, etc. Another small building contains the folk art and woodcarving hall and a room of stone inscriptions from the Hariphuchai period of the 12th century\, Lanna period of the 16th century. \n11.30  Visit Wat Chamadevi\, or as the local people call it Wat Ku Kut.

SUMMARY:3-Day/2-Night Excursion to Lamphun and Li
DESCRIPTION:Itinerary: \n \nDay 1: \nLeave by motor coach from Chiang Mai to Lamphun. After a 30-minute drive\, visit Wat Phrathat Hariphunchai and the branch of the National Museum at Lamphun. After lunch at a local restaurant\, the group will leave for Li sub-district\, Li\, the hidden charm of Lamphun\, approximately two hours away. Check-in at the hotel and there will be time for a rest. At 5.00 p.m. (17:00) the group will transfer to a Karen hilltribe village. The community is both Buddhist and vegetarian. Arriving at the OTOP center\, one will have the opportunity to see the full array of Karen handicrafts\, including textiles and silver ornaments\, all made by the villagers. For dinner\, we will enjoy a vegetarian Khantoke dinner and a traditional performance by Karen children. Transfer back to the hotel overnight. \nDay 2: \nBreakfast at the hotel. Depart for Mam Bor Noi village where all live in harmony and refuse the modern world: using water from wells\, living without electricity in traditional bamboo houses and weaving their own clothes. Afterward go to Wat Phrabhat Huay Tom to study more about their way of life. Following lunch at a local restaurant we will visit Long Li\, the weaving center where women still preserve the tin jok\, a pattern of weaving which had almost disappeared from the community. Return to the hotel to relax. In the evening return to Huay Tom village to see the Phra Maha That Chedi Sri Vieng Chai\, a great golden stupa. On full moon night of the Buddhist Holy day\, villagers gather to pray and walk around the stupa with candles: “wien tien”. Visitors can observe or participate. The sound of chanting and the moving light of candles mark an unforgettable moment. \nDay 3: \nCheck out of the hotel and leave for Ban Thung Hua Chang\, which is famous for Lamphun silk weaving using the yok dok pattern. After lunch\, we will head back to Chiang Mai. On the way\, a stop will be made at Ban Don Luang\, a village well known for its cotton weaving. The villagers earn a living from making cotton cloth\, some by Pasang and Tai Lue families. Expect to arrive at Chiang Mai around 5:00 p.m. (17:00).
