“Pay homage to Queen Chamadevi, the legendary female ruler of Lanna, pray for career success and achievements, and admire the exquisite sculpture amidst the lush greenery of the city-center park”

Phra Nang Chamathewi Monument stands majestically in the heart of Lamphun city, a place filled with mystical charm and historical stories spanning over 1,300 years. Queen Chamadevi was a brilliant first female monarch, excelling in administration, religion, and warfare. She brought the civilization of Lavo (Lopburi) to the northern lands and established the Hariphunchai Kingdom, leading it to great prosperity. This monument is more than just a metal cast; it is a symbol of the profound gratitude that the people of Lamphun have for the Queen, who laid the firm foundation of culture and Buddhism that remains stable to this day. Situated within the well-maintained Nong Dok Public Park, the atmosphere is shady and filled with a powerful sense of devotion.

Every day, many people bring flowers, incense, and candles especially pink roses, believed to be her favorite flower to offer in prayer for various blessings, whether regarding career advancement, competitive exams, or life stability. Many spiritual seekers ("Sai Mu") believe that praying here grants wisdom and courage to overcome obstacles, following in Her Majesty's footsteps. Furthermore, the area around the monument features a wide plaza used for important provincial traditions, such as the Queen’s Robe Changing Ceremony and traditional dance offerings on various occasions, showcasing the deep spiritual bond between the local community and this great Queen.

Viewing the monument in the evening provides a particularly special experience. Not only is the weather cooler, but the spotlights illuminating the statue highlight the elegance of her ancient royal attire. Around the park, there is space for relaxation, and it is located near the night market selling local food and indigenous products. This allows visitors to enjoy both spiritual fulfillment and the simple way of life of the Lamphun people simultaneously. If you have the chance to travel to Northern Thailand, paying your respects and asking for blessings from Queen Chamadevi is the perfect starting point for any Lamphun trip to introduce yourself and seek protection from the merciful owner of this ancient land.
