Chiang Mai–Lamphun City Pillar Shrine was built as a spiritual anchor for people of both Chiang Mai and Lamphun. Located at the midpoint of the historic road connecting the two cities, the twin pillars symbolize unity, cooperation, and a shared history dating back to the Hariphunchai and Lanna kingdoms.

Architecture:

The shrine features an applied Thai architectural style with an elegant gabled roof. Inside stand finely carved city pillars, often decorated with colorful fabrics and floral garlands offered by devotees seeking blessings.

Local Traditions & Beliefs:

Drivers passing along the old road commonly honk their horns as a sign of respect. Many also stop to pray for safe journeys, success in work, and good fortune before entering another province.
