Lampang


Lampang Province has borders with Chiang Mai, Chaing Rai, Lamphun, Phrae, Phayao and Sukhothai. Nakhon Lampang as the capital is often referred to is the third largest city in Northern Thailand, located in the valley of the River Wang. 

In the 7th century Lampang was part of  Haripunchai kingdom of the Mon, with its capital Lamphun. Occupied by Khmer in the 11th century and King Mengrai incorporated Lampang and Lamphun into the Lanna  Kingdom in 1292. From the 16th to the 18th century Lampang was under Burmese rule before it became part of Siam in 1892.

Lampang was an important center of the timber industry in the early 20th century and saw an influx of migrants from British-controlled Burma. The horse-drawn carriage is one of the most memorable symbols and so is the architecture in the old part of the village.

Many temples show elements of Burmese architecture. The Khomsom House, a concrete house built in 1920 on  Taladkao Road, which  was the heart of the center in former times, gives an impression of how beautiful the old city must have been back then. If you walkl there you can still imagine the mix of Thai, Burmese, British and Chinese merchants.
