With its many horse carts and Lanna-style temples, Lampang is the quintessential northern Thai city. Elephants have been used in the logging industry here for generations, but today visitors can learn about the creatures at the Thai Elephant Conservation Center. The other famous sight here is the Wat Phra That Lampang Luang; set on a walled hillock, the temple features beautiful murals, a bronze Buddha statue, and a collection of ancient wooden utensils. Although the city doesn't see as many tourists as some other parts of Thailand, Lampang still has plenty of restaurants and hotels as well as some excellent museums.
