[2025 Lampang Attraction] Travel Guide for Baan Sao Nak (Updated Mar)

Baan Sao Nak is a traditional Lanna-style teak house with a raised foundation that is over a hundred years old. It is located in Lampang Province. The name Baan Sao Nak comes from the northern dialect, which means “many pillars”, meaning that there are 116 teak pillars supporting the house. This house is a museum of art and culture of Lampang Province. The interior is decorated with antique furniture. The original owner was a Burmese who settled in Thailand and was the ancestor of the Chanthawirot family. The house is open to visitors and has been used for various events such as weddings, parties, film shoots, and many other events.

This is the biggest surprise I encountered , a century-old pomelo wood house quietly standing by the river in Nanbang. It is said that the original owner who built it was a merchant from Myanmar, so in addition to the typical Lanna style, many Burmese elements can also be seen in the architectural design. Now it is completely open to the public for visiting, and visitors can personally step into this old house, walk up to the second floor, and feel the temperature of the pomelo wood stairs and floors. 📷📷 Highlights: The biggest highlight of this old house should be its pillars, up to 116 of them, but they don't look out of place at all. They turn a regular "home" into a museum, with grandeur, spaciousness, and the interplay of light and shadow adding a touch of color. 💰💰 Master, about your wealth? The room is filled with silverware, ceramics, furniture, and so on. It's not particularly wealthy, but everything is exquisitely placed, which probably reflects the living standards of the southern merchants at that time. In the room, you can see many old items everywhere, and they are within reach, such as old-fashioned record players, fans, irons, and so on. This immersive experience of the old house museum is really great! 🚗🚗 Self-driving: It is recommended to drive to Nanbang. Although the scenery along the way by train is beautiful, driving is much faster and more convenient for visiting attractions after arrival. The city of Nanbang is not crowded with cars and people, very comfortable, with friendly road conditions and parking. 🔺🔺 Visiting time: about 1 hour. Remember to wear slippers when visiting.

Lampang which is known as the 'horse carriage city' has a local attraction that should not be missed...horse-drawn carriage ride! We hopped on a horse drawn carriage and rode through Lampang's old town, stopping at at a few places, including Baan Sao Nak, an ancient wooden house made of teak wood and Wat Phra Kaeo Don Tao. We felt this is one of the best way to enjoy the town of Lampang and get a glimpse of the architecture. What an enjoyable experience. #passionpassport #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #celebratewithtrip #chiangmai

Baan Sao Nak is a beautiful teak house built in 1895. It is rich in Lanna style and is supported by 116 square teak columns. There are a lot of antiques, silverware, porcelain, and Taibei handicrafts, which are worth visiting. I have to mention a little about the concept of Lanna, Lanna or Lanna Thai (1292-1558), a kingdom in Thailand's history that once controlled the northern part of Thailand, and the first powerful power of the Thai family. And this building is now a relatively intact building.
