Wiang Kum Kam

The ancient city of Wiang Kum Kam is situated between the river Ping and the Lamphun highway, south of Mahidol Road. The city was founded by King Mengrai more than 700 years ago, but was later buried under mud when the river changed course. In 1984 archaeologists uncovered the remains of the ancient city and the area is now restored as a historical park. The best way to see it is by bicycle or motorcycle.
