According to the ''[[Cāmadevivaṃsa]]'', the city of [[Hariphunchai]] (modern [[Lamphun]]) was founded by [[hermit]]s. [[Camadevi]], a princess of the [[Lavo Kingdom]], was invited to rule the city around 700.{{clarify|date=June 2015}} Hariphunchai may be a later (10th century) offshoot of the Lavo Kingdom or instead related to the [[Thaton Kingdom]].

Hariphunchai was the centre of Theravada in the north. The kingdom flourished during the reign of King Attayawong who built [[Wat Phra That Hariphunchai]] in 1108. The kingdom had strong relations with the Mon Kingdom of Thaton. During the 11th century, Hariphunchai waged lengthy wars with the Tai [[Ngoenyang]] Kingdom of Chiang Saen. Weakened by Tai invasions, Hariphunchai eventually fell in 1293 to [[Mangrai]], king of [[Lan Na]], the successor state of the Ngoenyang Kingdom.
