Audio Guide of Kad Kong Ta Walking Street

The walking market operates mainly on Saturdays and Sundays from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM. It is located in Lampang's historic center. You can easily get there by tuk-tuk, bicycle, or on foot from downtown hotels. More information: Tourism Authority of Thailand.

No, access to the walking street is completely free. You only pay for what you consume or buy, such as food, handicrafts, or souvenirs. It is recommended to bring cash in Thai baht, as many stalls do not accept cards.

We recommend setting aside between 1.5 and 2 hours to stroll leisurely along the street's 400 meters. That is enough time to shop for handicrafts, try local food, and admire the historic architecture without rushing.

Kad Kong Ta is a cultural icon of Lampang, with 19th-century Sino-Portuguese buildings. It was the commercial heart of the city thanks to its location beside the Wang River. It preserves the essence of the golden age of the teak trade.

Saturday and Sunday afternoons, especially between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM, when there is a lively atmosphere but not too much crowding. The dry season, from November to February, is ideal because of the cool weather. Avoid the rainy season, from May to October, because of the showers.

The uneven paving stones and narrow sidewalks make wheelchair access difficult. Some sections may be accessible with assistance. For specific details, contact Lampang Museum: Tel. +66 54 228 347.

Less than 1 km away, you can visit Wat Phra Kaeo Don Tao, with its Buddha relic shrine, the traditional Baan Sao Nak house, more than 100 years old, and the Thai Elephant Conservation Center. More info: Nearby attractions.
