Green landscapes as far as you can see, high misty mountain peaks and the ancient culture of the indigenous people, northern Thailand<\/strong> offers a special combination. Places like Chiang Mai<\/a> and Chiang Rai<\/a> probably pop into your head. But the unknown and authentic north has much more to offer.<\/p>\n Just an hour’s drive from Chiang Mai, you enter the little-visited town of Lampang<\/strong> where most tourists come from Thailand itself. It makes the atmosphere different, but the city \u00eds also truly different and visibly bears the traces of ancient cultures. Explore Lampang on foot or by bicycle, or be guided by horse and carriage, which is only possible in this city of Thailand. Such a ride is a visual fairy tale along the banks of the Wang<\/strong> River, old wooden houses and some unique temples – such as Wat Si Rong Muan<\/strong> and Wat Phra That Lampang Luang <\/strong>– and castle-like buildings in Burmese and Lanna Thai style. Just outside the city, mountain peaks reach for the sky. A climb up steep steps to Wat Phra Phutthabat Sutthawat<\/strong>, also called Doi Pu Yak<\/strong> by locals, takes you to a 360-degree view above the clouds.<\/p>\nLampang<\/h3>\n
