Travel Tips for Lampang

Bamboo worms from Kad Tung Kwian

by yatingchen

Bamboo worms eat bamboo only so actually they are very clean and have no strange smell.
They are good protein and good for your skin. 1 small bag 120 THB. Quiet expensive for the local living standard.

A road less travelled.

If you are going to visit the very impressive and nearby Wat Phra That Lampang Luang under your own steam or indeed by private vehicle (hired taxi or the like), you may want to consider a slight detour to the very attractive Wat Lai Hin, a very attreactive temple complex. It is obvious that this place attracts few Western travellers as the looks I got from the locals when parking my scooter up were, frankly, incredulous. On entering the complex, I had a brief look round and the place appeared entirely deserted, although I eventually located an elderly monk sitting alne. He seemed to be the only person about the place. I greeted him respectfuly and enquired by means of mime etc. if I could take photos to which he answered, quite brusquely, in the negative. The photo I have here, therefore, is one I had taken outside before entering. Perhaps the old man was just having a bad day or had misunderstood my request, thinking I wanted to photograph him, but I obviously respected his instructions. I did find them slightly odd as apparently the complex was the set for a very large budget Thai film called Suriyothai in 2001, so the concept of being camera shy is a little odd.

Unfortunately, none of the actual buildings was open but the exteriors were well worth visiting

For the historically minded amongst you, the wat was begun in 1683 and is in the Lanna (Northenr Thai) style. It was founded by a Prince from Keng Tung in Burma, and, like several other Lanna temples, is reputed to have been founded on the site where an elephant stopped whilst carrying a sacred relic.

If you are following the road to Wat Phra That Lampang Luang, there is a small road, in good repair, to the left about 1km before it. Follow that for 6km and you will be there, it is on the right and very obvious.

Wat Sri Chum

by Willettsworld

This wonderful Burmese-style temple is located just to the south of the town centre. "Sri Chum" means Bodhi tree in the northern Thai language. It is the biggest Burmese temple in Thailand and was built by a rich Burmese in 1892. Important monuments to be found in this temple are a golden stupa enshrining Buddha relics brought from Burma in 1906, a chapel enshrining a Burmese-styled Buddha image This chapel has decorative door panels made out of teak. Inside are mural paintings depicting scenes from the Buddha's life as well as a draft plan of the temples construction plan. The temple was reconstructed following a tragic fire in 1992.

Admission: 20 baht.

Wat Pa Fang

by picek

That's another nice Burmese temple in Lampang. One of the most captivating features of Pa Fang is large preaching hall made of wood upon which there's typical overlapping roof - style of which Burmese temples are famous for. Pay attention to it - it's nice one. Compound has large green garden with birds,trees and flowering bushes which makes very pleasant setting and it actually makes you want to rest there in shade (and with company of a few temple dogs which aren't looking that friendly). Golden chedi next to the preaching hall is supposed to contain Holy relics.

Wat Phra That Lampang Luang from the rice fields

by CyrilHH

Like in many places in Thailand, the views on a temple or monument over the tenderly green rice fields are very soothing to the eye. Driving around by car, I was often tempted to pull over and snap a pic. And then, 150 m further, another one from another ankle...
