Questions
Is the price for the whole group?
Yes. From 4,000 THB per vehicle, for everyone in it, not per person. It includes driver, fuel, parking, and drinking water.
Do we visit an elephant camp?
No. The elephant centre near Lampang still runs shows and rides, so I leave it out. For a day of feeding elephants and watching them bathe, see the elephant sanctuary day.
Is the horse carriage in the price?
No. You pay the carriage driver in cash, about 300 to 500 THB a carriage.
What should we wear?
Cover your shoulders and knees at every temple, and take your shoes off inside the halls. At Wat Phra That Lampang Luang, women can’t go into the small hall where a pinhole shows the chedi upside down.
Is it a long day?
About 10 hours, and about 220 km in all. The longest drive is the first, about an hour and a half to Lampang. Lamphun is only about half an hour from Chiang Mai.
Who will drive us?
Your driver may be one of my network drivers. Every driver knows the road to Lampang well, and doesn’t smoke or drink alcohol.
How do we pay?
In cash, in Thai baht, on the day of your trip. We agree the final price in chat before your trip.
