Lampang is famous throughout Thailand for its ceramics and the iconic "chicken bowl" pottery. You can buy it everywhere along the road to Lampang, in the markets, and even in the parking lot of Wat Phra That Lampang Luang. There are several ceramic workshops in the province that you can visit, but the Dhanabadee Ceramics Museum is arguably the most interesting, as it is said to have established the province's first ceramics workshop. The museum traces the entire history of Lampang ceramics and the evolution of techniques and designs. It's particularly fascinating to watch the entire process from start to finish, especially the painting of the ceramics. You can also see two old kilns. The showroom featuring the latest designs is equally impressive. And, of course, there's a shop where you can buy all kinds of ceramics.

Open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (closed Mondays). Admission is 100 THB for adults and 60 THB for children. Explanations on the information boards are in Thai and English. Guided tours in English are offered at 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, 3:00 PM, and 4:00 PM. There is also a workshop where you can create your own designs. The fee depends on the scope of the activity. Please note the preparation time (please call 24 hours in advance). Official website: www.dhanabadee.com
