Lampang Province


With a very cold weather in the northern part of Thailand waking up around 6 a.m is a very difficult thing for me. Our first stop is a must-see attraction for Lampang trip, “Wat Phra That Lampang Luang”.
The temple itself is prominently sited on a hillock surrounded by wall. The entrance arches, called Pratu Khong, is adorned with fine plaster designs. The wall-less main Vihan houses a bronze Buddha statue called the Phra Chao Lan Thong. To the back is a golden Chedi in Lanna architectural style containing a Holy Relic. Also in the back is another Vihan with beautiful murals on wooden walls, said to be the oldest in the North.



We then have lunch at “Krua Mukda” of which I highly recommend for both the taste and price.



Our last stop for the trip is at Nakornsawan Province, where we shop at "Chan-su-wan" shop for ขนมเปี๊ยะหิมะ โดยจันทร์สุวรรณ์ โมจิ and have fish ball noodle at the nearby stall.
