Thailand: Wooden pillar decoration in the drum tower, Wat Luang, Phrae, Northern Thailand

Parts of Wat Luang date back as far as the 14th century CE.

Phrae was built next to the Yom River in the 12th century and was part of the Mon kingdom of Haripunchai. In 1443, King Tilokaraj of the neighbouring Lanna kingdom captured the town.
