Ku Chang

Lamphun’s history comes with its fair share of legend and Ku Chang is one of its most enduring. This sacred site is believed to house the remains of Bpu Kum Ngaa Keo, the war elephant of Queen Chamadevi, the founding ruler of the Hariphunchai kingdom. Local tradition describes the elephant as a powerful force in battle, feared for its strength and symbolic might. Today, the cone-shaped brick chedi that marks the site remains an important place of local reverence, where visitors stop to pay respects, make wishes and connect with one of Lamphun’s most storied landmarks.
