Lampang Province


A trip is arranged with the good reason that one of our friends, Noo Da has moved to Lampang province. We arrive at Lampang in the morning and go straight to a market for some appetizers like fried pork with sticky rice, pa-tong-ko and Thai desserts before stopping at this small shop offering rice with soup (ต้มเลือดหมู).
Lampang is famous for its horse-drawn carriages and with a rooster as its provincial emblem.

Our first sightseeing stop is at Tri-luck Cemetry and then at Wat Chedi Sao Lang (วัดเจดีย์ซาวหลัง). The temple has 20 Chedis in its compound, each made in the combined Lanna – Burmese style.



Then we proceed to our accommodation for tonight, “Rai-Ya-Chae-Son Resort” about an hour from Amphoe Mueang. For our group we stay in one big room which can accommodate 16 of us as per the picture on the bottom right.



In the afternoon, we visit Chae Son National Park with the hot spring over rocky terrain. There are bathing facilities for health purpose. It costs only Baht 50 per person for private room and Baht 20 for common room.



Near by is the 6-level waterfall, of which I walk to the first level only. Some of us climb the stairs to the second and third level.
