Descripción

Blending over a thousand years of history, art and devotion, Wat Phra That Hariphunchai, featured in today's image, offers a glimpse into the spiritual heart of northern Thailand. Its origins date back to 897, when the Hariphunchai king built a stupa to enshrine a strand of the Buddha's hair.
