Lampang Thailand

The charming capital characterized by its horse-drawn carriages and the province with the stable Real white elephants at the Elephant Conservation Center in Thailand share the same name. Most travelers simply visit Lampang to see the Elephant Conservation Center in Thailand, without stopping in the city on the way to Chiang Mai and other provinces further north. The Center is undoubtedly a must-see tourist attraction, but those who visit the capital are generally surprised by the rather unusual charm of Lampang. Known for its horse-drawn carriages, the emblem of the province is the cock (the bird has a large monument in its honor in the center of the city) and its history is endowed with a series of human settlements in the Wang River basin , Some of which date back more than 1,000 years. In fact, in Lampang there are abundant archaeological remains of the kingdoms of Hariphunchai, Lanna, and Burma. The horse and cart, a local mode of transport that has survived the introduction of cars in the province, is a fun way to explore the city, which has numerous attractions such as its beautiful Buddhist temples, a good range of bars and restaurants On the banks of the river and the hospitality and kindness of its population, characteristic of Thailand. The statue of the rooster, visible all the way, is the oldest symbol of Lampang and its origins go back to the old name of the city, Kukutthanakorn or "City of roosters". A local legend tells that a white rooster was sent by the Brahmin god Indra to awaken the local inhabitants and that they could give alms to Buddha, who supposedly visited the city. On the road from Lampang to Chiang Mai is the Elephant Conservation Center in Thailand, the oldest and only Government-supported Center in Thailand, where the king's white elephants are housed and visitors can learn more about them And see the shows that are presented to the public on a regular basis.
