Kruba Sriwichai Museum, Chamadevi Temple, Lamphun Town
About This Museum
Tucked away within the serene grounds of Chamadevi Temple in the ancient town of Lamphun, this intimate museum feels like a quiet discovery. It’s a heartfelt tribute to Kruba Sriwichai, the revered northern monk who built so many of the roads and temples we still admire today. You'll find his personal belongings, from simple alms bowls to handwritten manuscripts, all telling a story of profound devotion. The atmosphere here is incredibly peaceful, making it a perfect, contemplative pause from the main temple complex.
Collection Highlights
The centerpiece is a beautifully crafted statue of Kruba Sriwichai himself, surrounded by historic photographs that document his life and immense public works. Look for his iconic round glasses and the ceremonial fans used in Buddhist rituals—it's these personal items that make his legacy feel so immediate.
