Lampang
Overview
Lampang sits just south of Chiang Mai yet feels worlds away from the tourist trail. The terrain transitions from fertile river valleys to low mountain ranges, creating a mix of paved sweepers and dirt connectors that are perfect for day loops. Riders can explore teak forests, limestone outcrops, and countryside roads lined with rice fields. The pace here is relaxed—great for intermediate riders or anyone looking to balance trail time with cultural stops like historic temples and old wooden houses. Dry season brings crisp mornings and clear views, while the shoulder months still offer rideable conditions with fewer visitors.
