Eating & Drinking
For a relatively small town, Lampang boasts a pretty decent repertoire of restaurants, ran-
ging from good northern Thai to acceptable Western fare, and a few things in between.
It has an equally vibrant drinking scene, and the strip of Th Thipchang near Riverside is
Lampang's nightlife district. There you'll find a string of friendly open-air restaurant-pubs
that seem to change ownership and name each time we're in town.

Some nights it can seem like every-
body in Lampang is here, and understandably so: the food is tasty and embarrassingly
cheap, and the setting in a wooden house is heaps of fun.
