Lamphun

After touring the temple and museum, we went to the Terracotta Garden. The coffee shop is on the grounds of a large site where hand-carved terracotta art products are created. The terracotta art is modelled on ancient S.E Asian styles, and there are examples all around.

Looking across the lawn from our outdoor seating at the cafe. Even though it was a hot day, our seats were in the shade and it was very comfortable.

Barbara with her fancy drink of chocolate and sweet potato. Mine was chocolate and banana.

We both had the burrata salad with delicious tomatoes and pieces of dragon fruit.

This structure was across a lake.

We had to cross this bamboo bridge, which wasn't very enjoyable!

One of the many sculptures that caught my eye.

On the drive home we took the old Lamphun road. It is lined with large trees that have been "ordained" by monks so they can't be cut down. Many are gone already.

Our last stop of the day was at a huge second-hand shop. It had everything you could imagine, plus lots of old TVs just in case you want to make an aquarium or decorate a home in 1950s-60s style!
