In-Depth Information
Self-caterers or those interested in local eats will want to check out Lampang's
evening market
(Th Ratsada; 4-8pm)
where steaming baskets of sticky rice and
dozens of sides to dip it in are on daily display.
AROY ONE BAHT $
(cnr Th Suandawg & Th Thipchang; mains 15-40B; 4pm-midnight)
Some nights it
can seem like just about everybody in Lampang has gathered at this rambling
wooden house, and understandably so: the food is tasty and embarrassingly cheap,
the service lightning fast, and the setting in a wooden house-cum-balcony-cum-
garden heaps of fun.
Thai
PAPONG $
(125 Th Talad Gao; mains 30-40B; lunch & dinner)
Be sure to stop by this popular
local haunt serving
kà·nŏm jeen
(fresh rice noodles topped with various curries).
You can't miss it (simply look for a row of bubbling curries in earthenware pots), and
ordering is a snap (simply point to whatever looks good)
Northern Thai
Khun Manee
Lampang is known for its addictive
kôw đaan,
deep-fried rice cakes drizzled with palm
sugar, the making of which can be observed at this homey
factory
(no roman-script sign;
35 Th Ratsada)
off Th Ratsada - look for the yellow arrow.
RIVERSIDE BAR & RESTAURANT $$
(328 Th Thipchang; mains 80-210B; lunch & dinner)
This wooden shack that ap-
pears to be on the verge of tumbling into the Mae Wang is extremely popular with
visiting and resident foreigners. Live music, a full bar and an expansive menu of
local and Western dishes bring in the crowds.
