Chiang Mai, Thailand

About this place

Lampang, known as the 'Horse Carriage City,' is the only place in Thailand where horse-drawn carriages are still used for daily transportation. The tour includes rides through the historic old town, visits to Wat Phra That Lampang Luang (one of Northern Thailand's most beautiful wooden temples), and the Thai Elephant Conservation Center where you can observe ethical elephant training, visit the elephant hospital, and watch educational demonstrations. The center focuses on mahout training and elephant healthcare rather than entertainment. Combine with a visit to the famous rooster bowl ceramics factories that Lampang is known for, and try the local specialty 'Lampang Larb' at Riverside Restaurant.
