Uttaradit : Explore the Old Town, Unveil the Legends of Laplae

About this tour

Explore the Old Town, Unveil the Legends of Laplae: Uttaradit Private Tour Program Begin your journey by paying your respects at the Phraya Phichai Dap Hak Monument, located in front of the Uttaradit Provincial Hall. This monument was built to honor a brave local hero and a loyal warrior of King Taksin the Great. Afterward, visit the nearby museum, which exhibits invaluable local history and a collection of ancient weapons. Continue your trip to the Laplae City Gate and Museum. The word "Laplae" means "hidden from sight." This ancient town is steeped in mysterious legends, most notably as the "City of Widows," where people strictly adhered to morality and honesty. Legend has it that anyone who told a lie would be banished and could never find their way back. Admire the magnificent city gate, a true symbol of this legendary town. Then, explore the museum, designed as a replica of traditional Thai wooden houses, to learn about the local way of life, the renowned traditional weaving art of "Pha Teen Jok" (Teen Jok fabric), and the unique history of the Laplae people. Head next to Mae Phun Waterfall, a beautifully landscaped waterfall where water cascades gracefully over terraced rocks, perfectly surrounded by lush greenery. Relax and enjoy your lunch amidst the soothing sounds of flowing water, and take a refreshing dip to cool off in the safe, shallow pools. In the afternoon, take a relaxing break at Nong Phra Lae Public Park, a large lake that serves as the tranquil "lung" of the community. Its peaceful atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll to catch the breeze or simply unwind under the shade of large trees. Conclude this memorable trip at Wat Phra Thaen Sila At, one of the oldest and most sacred temples in Uttaradit Province. The centerpiece of this temple is the "Phra Thaen Sila At," a rectangular laterite pedestal believed to be the sacred seat where the Lord Buddha once sat to meditate and practice asceticism. Additionally, you can closely admire the magnificent architecture and the intricate wood carvings on the doors of the Vihara (sermon hall) and Ubosot (ordination hall).
