5.0 Wat Chaloem Phrakiat Phrachomklao Rachanuson (91 reviews)
- Drop by for some good exercise if you don't mind the high foreigner charges. Nice views
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites • Scenic Walking Areas

Nice but feel the charges for foreigners as usual is unreasonably high. Due to that I feel it's ok to come here if you're in the area, but is it worth it to make a special trip? You park at the base, buy your entrance fees, tickets for the ride in the pickup up to the intermediate level. Get out the pickup then start walking. Lots of steep steps going up. The steps are well made. There's some signage along the way explaining things. All in Thai. You would think that after charging the foreigners much higher fees to enter the area they would at least take the trouble to translate the text into foreign language. View of the pagoda at the top is nice, as the pics you see. However the pictures of the top from the drones are much more impressive than your view from where you can stand. Would I go again? Probably not due to the charges. Been there done that. Would I go again if the prices were more reasonable? Only if I was in the area. See more..
4.5 Wat Pong Sanuk Temple (66 reviews)
- Beautiful temple complex with large reclining buddha
Points of Interest & Landmarks

The temples and chedis here were very beautiful but my favorite part was the large reclining buddha in one of the temples. The depictions on the bottom of his feet make this place well worth a stop, and the other temples and statues are not to be missed, either. Particularly the 4 statues of the buddha under the Bodhisattva tree. Glad we took the time to pop by! See more..
4.5 Wat Si Rong Mueang (33 reviews)
- Another beautiful Burmese temple.
Points of Interest & Landmarks

The over 100 years old Burmese style wooden temple has glamorous cascading reddish roofs. It was already 6 p.m. when we arrived there, so we were not allow to enter the main hall. The only thing we could do was taking photos in front of this beautiful temple. What a pity. See more..
3.5 Lampang Rooster (30 reviews)
- Fabulous
Points of Interest & Landmarks

We set out in the hot afternoon sun to find this notable and important landmark. After two hours of walking to the location marked on the TripAdvisor map, the big chick was nowhere in sight. We asked the security guard at the Lampang Highway Maintenance Office where it was. He asked his friend while we petted his overly friendly dogs. His friend, “Bang”, knew the whereabouts of the cock in question and offered to drive us there. Gratefully we accept. Five minutes later we see the famous Lampang Rooster in all its glory. Drawing closer we notice the podium on which it sits is also a roundabout. I knew that if I was driving I most certainly would’ve crashed as I beheld the magnificence of this fine statue. The Rooster alone: 6/5. Because the location was wrong: -1. The danger of such a mind-blowingly beautiful statue being the centrepiece for a roundabout: -1. 4/5 stars, not bad. See more..

4.0 Wat Pa Fang Temple (16 reviews)
- Hidden gem , burmese temple in the city center
Points of Interest & Landmarks

I took 3hours loop horse carriage tour with the driver acting as my private guide. This temple is highlighted with golden pagoda amid tall trees in the citycenter. It's very serene with shades of trees and the librarian building is the hidden gem of local artefacts collected by the fomer abbots and present abbot, need to ask abbot's permission to see this exclusive collection. Worths visiting burmese temples in Lampang. See more..
4.0 Wat Chai Mongkhon (15 reviews)
- Gorgeous Burmese Buddha statue with a wonderful decoration.
Points of Interest & Landmarks

Although the over 100 years old Burmese temple seem to be abandoned at first glance (This is because there are only 2 monks dwell in the temple !), ones can't judge a book by its cover. Inside the old hall lies a very beautiful Buddha statue (resemble to the Mandalay famous "Mahamuni") imported from Mandalay surrounded by his disciples with the mosaic background representing angels and carved wood curtain with decorations representing significant events in Buddha's ordination. Moreover, visitor can make a wish to "Thep Thun Jai" made of white jade (of course, he was also imported from Mandalay). Many thanks to the abbot that kindly opened the main hall for us and provided some interesting informations about the place and the statues. ขอบคุณมากครับ See more..

4.0 Ho Amok (6 reviews)
- defending Lampang
Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Ancient Ruins • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Lookouts

This brick tower, rising over ten meters high, was part of the original city fortifications of Lampang. Built in 1808, with one side open, it has a three-story scaffold inside that was used to lift cannon and shot up to the battlement on top. The tower was probably intended as defense against a possible Burmese invasion. But the Burmese had been driven from their last stronghold in Chiang Saen in 1804 and did not march into northern Thailand again. So the tower was never used, but never demolished, either, and has been kept as part of the city’s heritage. See more..
4.0 Wat Ko Walukaram (5 reviews)
- Interesting
Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites

This was an interesting excursion. The temple is quite old and clearly not a major tourist attraction. I loved the book exchange they had available and they clearly were interested in community development as well. This is the kind of temple worth supporting. See more..

4.5 Horse Carriage Station (2 reviews)
- Great way to see parts of the old town
Points of Interest & Landmarks

This is one of the most famous things in Lampang and is a must do, not expensive and a great way to see parts of the old town, if your with a Thai speaker you can get a commentary from the driver. The ponies appear to be well looked after and treated which is also very important. See more..
5.0 Pha Gate Painting - Prehistoric Cliff Rock Paintings (1 review)
- Very interesting site.
Points of Interest & Landmarks

There are 3 main attractions in this site. 1. Prehistoric paintings on the vertical rocky cliff dated back over 3000 years ago Take a stroll along an 800 metres convenient path watching prehistoric paintings on the cliff (hard to see and imagine, but there is a guideline on the board at each point) with forest and mountain view. Don't forget to apply sunscreen. 2. Chao Por Pratu Pha shrine Pay respect to the loyal warrior "Iron hand" who fought Burmese army to his death at this position (to make his king escaped) about 300 years ago (like in the movie 300 but in this case only one !). Legend has it that he used his bare hands at a shield (iron hand, that's why) and fought to his death with his upright body leaned against the cliff and his hand still held a sword. What a great guy. 3. Local market This is a little market where Yao people sell their products (especially herbs and spices). Worth a visit. See more..
