Audio Guide of Kad Kong Ta Market

This night market, also known as Walking Street, is open exclusively on Saturdays and Sundays from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. It is located on the historic Talad Gao Street, parallel to the Wang River, and becomes a pedestrian zone during those hours.

No, entry to Kad Kong Ta is completely free and open to everyone. You will only need a budget to enjoy the delicious street food and local handicrafts you will find along the way.

We recommend setting aside between 1.5 and 2 hours for your visit. That is the ideal amount of time to stroll without rushing, admire the old architecture, and stop for dinner at the street stalls.

A century ago, it was the most important commercial center in Lampang during the boom of the teak industry. Today it stands out for preserving houses with a unique blend of Lanna, Burmese, Chinese, and Western architecture.

The best time is at sunset, around 6:00 PM, to see the lights come on and avoid the intense heat. The months from November to February offer the coolest and most pleasant weather for walking.

The street is flat and paved, which allows wheelchair access. However, it is usually quite crowded during peak hours, so arriving early is recommended for easier movement.

The market ends beside the iconic Ratsadaphisek Bridge, a white landmark more than 100 years old that is perfect for photos. You are also just a short walk from interesting temples and the Wang River.

Bring cash (baht), as most stalls do not accept cards. Arrive with an empty stomach to try the local snacks, and wear comfortable shoes for walking on the pavement.
