Lamphun: Not too cold, but unforgettable.

"Lampang, a city often overlooked"

This sentence translates the original text while maintaining a simple and concise tone. It avoids personal pronouns and colloquialisms, and focuses on the main point: that Lampang is often seen as a mere stopover on the way to other destinations.

Here's a breakdown of the translation choices:

• "เขลางค์นคร หรือ ลำปาง": This phrase is translated as "Lampang," the city's official name.
• "จังหวัดที่ใครหลาย ๆ คน รวมถึงตัวผมเองเคยมองเป็นแค่ทางผ่านสู่จังหวัดอื่น": This translates to "a city often overlooked," capturing the sentiment that many people, including the speaker, have previously viewed Lampang as just a place to pass through on their way to other destinations.

My perspective shifted after experiencing it firsthand. The warmth of the locals, the distinctive northern dialect, the historical landmarks, and the constant sound of horses' hooves all contributed to this change.

This is an unprecedented and truly impressive experience. If asked to name the most popular provinces, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Mae Hong Son would undoubtedly top the list.

However, I would like to suggest a different perspective. "Lampang Province" still has much to offer and is worth exploring. Lampang will no longer be just a stopover. Please read on to find out more.

Travel Date

Day One

After an 11-hour journey, we arrived at Lampang Bus Station at 7:00 AM. This trip to Lampang would be our first time renting a car to explore different locations. We had arranged to meet the car rental owner at the PTT gas station opposite the bus station. While waiting, we grabbed some snacks or bought rice from the 7-Eleven in the gas station.

Our rental car arrived promptly, thanks to the services of "Alamphang Group (Car Rental Lampang)". A simple Google search will lead you to them. The owner was incredibly helpful and always responded to our messages promptly and consistently. * For inquiries, please contact 054-224454, 083-568-1555, 099-236-0176, or send a message to their page.

After spending about an hour capturing the breathtaking scenery, we descended the mountain and headed towards our next destination: **"Chae Son National Park."**

The dream of witnessing the sun's golden rays illuminating the water's surface was shattered. The absence of sunshine was a major disappointment. After a brief photo session, heavy rain forced us to seek shelter immediately. Our plan to soak our feet in the pool was also washed away.

Having finished our egg feast, we embarked on our return journey to the city center to check into our accommodation.

The temple also houses an ancient museum that displays historical artifacts, and nearby is the Emerald Buddha statue.

Day Two

The next morning, I woke up with the hope of seeing the sunrise with a beautiful view at "Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan". I drove from the city early in the morning. It took about half an hour to reach the temple. As soon as I drove in, the dogs barked in unison, making me hesitate to get out of the car. To my surprise, they were not ordinary temple dogs, but a pack of pugs and two Siberian Huskies. The most shocking thing was that when I opened the car door, a Siberian Husky jumped into the car! Fortunately, it got out when I called it.

(If you don't want to walk, you can drive up if there are not many people. But for those who want to walk up, park your car at the bottom.)

After soaking up the atmosphere, we headed back to our accommodation to pack our belongings and have breakfast. We also had to return the car today. The owner was very kind and allowed us to return the car two hours later than the agreed time.

Our plan for today is to rent a motorbike and explore the city. The rental shop is conveniently located near our accommodation and is called "Ozone Rent 2 Ride". They offer both motorbikes and bicycles. We rented a motorbike for 300 baht, and the owner generously waived the deposit.

Thank you for reading this far.

I have traveled according to the three slogans of Lampang, but I really didn't have enough time for the other one.

"Famous horse-drawn carriages, renowned pottery, beautiful and famous pagoda"

"It's just a secondary city, but if you get to try < Lampang City >, it's not inferior to any other province."
