[2025 Lampang Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Pong Sanuk Temple (Updated Jul)

Had the opportunity to fly to worship in Lampang. There are many beautiful chedis and temples. In the morning, I went to worship the chedi and Wat Pong Sanuk Nuea. I rode a horse-drawn carriage around the city. In the evening, I went to Kad Kong Ta and stopped to eat French crepes and northern food. It was a very worthwhile trip. The next morning, I went to a cafe on Ko Kha. Seri Cafe, the green tea there, was very good. The shop had a good atmosphere. There was art work, painted clay plates. The cafe was very spacious and shady. #Lampang #TravelAroundThailand
