Lampang, is situated in the Northern part of Thailand, 602KM away from BKK city, 190KM south of Chiangmai. Since it is in the Northern part, thus, it is a little bit chilly during nite time, and you need to wear a piece of Jacket to keep yourself a bit warm.

Driving from BKK takes about 6-7 hours depending on the speed. And along the journey, you see a lot of forest and because end of the year is basically quite dry, along the way, we saw some bushes caught fire, but not very serious.

Lampang, a small city, but I think it is very simple and nice place. They are famous for their ceramics here, and I visited a few of them, and bought some too, mostly celadon pieces and they are very good quality and cheap too, in my opinion. But since it is too heavy and too many, I have to leave some with my friends first and will collect them in the next trip.

Food in this place is very good, and I will share some of the pictures later on.
