🐎 Lampang Heritage: Temples, Teak & Horse Carriages
"Step back in time to Thailand’s most charming and preserved Northern city."
While the rest of the world speeds up, Lampang invites you to slow down. Known as the "City of Horse Carriages," Lampang is the only province in Thailand where these colorful, horse-drawn buggies are still used as a daily mode of transport. Our 2-day cultural journey takes you through the heart of Lanna history, from the fortress-like walls of ancient temples to the grand teak mansions of wealthy timber merchants from a century ago.
Whether you are traveling from Chiang Mai or flying in from Bangkok, Lampang offers a quiet, soulful atmosphere that captures the true essence of Northern Thailand.
