Wat Phra That Hariphunchai (Thai: วัดพระธาตุหริภุญชัย) is a Buddhist temple (wat) in Lamphun, Thailand. The temple's origins date from the 11th century but the central stupa is thought to originate in the 9th century. Every year in September, there is a huge festival with "donation trees", colourful handmade ornaments resembling trees, in which people give their offerings to the temple, the monks and the spirits.
