A Gentle Adventure in Hang Chat – Elephants, Eats & Local Finds 📍 Trip Overview A full-day escape to the charming district of Hang Chat, Lampang — home to the Thai Elephant Conservation Center and lush local culture. We started from a relaxing stay at Kept Cabana Lampang, joined elephants for a bath in the river, enjoyed a hearty local meal, and wrapped things up with a lovely stroll through a traditional community market. 🐘 Elephant Experience • Morning Drive: Headed out to the Thai Elephant Conservation Center, just outside the main town. • Elephant Show: We watched the elephants paint, play, and demonstrate their strength — such intelligent animals! • Bath Time: The highlight! We got right into the river and helped bathe the elephants. Playful, splashy, and unforgettable. 🍴 Local Dining After our elephant encounter, we stopped for lunch at a favorite local spot in Hang Chat — Rim Nam Restaurant (ร้านอาหารริมหนอง). Delicious northern Thai flavors with a view over a quiet pond. Highly recommended for the stir-fried spicy pork and bamboo curry. 🛍️ Market Stop Before heading back, we made a quick stop at Kad Thung Kwian (กาดทุ่งเกวี๋ยน) — a beloved local market. Great place for regional snacks, dried fruits, handmade crafts, and some of the best herbal teas around. Don’t leave without grabbing a bag of crispy northern sausage chips! 🏠 Accommodation Kept Cabana Lampang – A riverside hideaway with a minimal and cozy atmosphere. Perfect base for recharging before and after the day’s adventure. 🚗 Getting Around We rented a car for the trip, which gave us the flexibility to move around easily. Roads in Hang Chat are peaceful and scenic — ideal for a relaxed drive. 💡 Tips • Wear clothes you don’t mind getting wet during the elephant bath • Visit the elephant center early to enjoy cooler weather and fewer crowds • Support the market vendors — many sell unique, handmade items you won’t find elsewhere • Try a local herbal drink at Kad Thung Kwian — super refreshing after a warm day #elephant #lampang #Hangchat

When I first came here, I was very impressed. When I arrived, there was a tram to take me to the elephant show. The entrance fee was very cheap. For Thai people, the adult ticket price is 100 baht, children 50 baht, but it was very worthwhile. I brought the children to see what they liked. Inside, there was an elephant show and elephant bathing. There were about 15 elephants on show. If you come to see after the elephant bathing, you will see the elephant parade, which is very beautiful.
