Every Saturday and Sunday evening, the large Kad Kong Ta night market takes place in Lampang. Talad Gao Road, the Old Market Street, becomes a pedestrian zone from the Ratchadapisek Bridge onwards and is home to countless food stalls, restaurants, clothing shops, and vendors of all kinds. The market is very popular with the local population. This street also features some beautiful, centuries-old wooden houses that combine Western, Burmese, Thai, and Chinese architectural styles and are particularly striking when the night market isn't running. Therefore, it's also worth strolling along this section of the street during the day. If you're in Lampang on the weekend, I highly recommend a walk and perhaps a visit to the street. There are very good and inexpensive restaurants, as well as numerous stalls with a wide selection of food and drinks. Pedestrian zones are becoming increasingly common in Thailand; almost every city has its own. However, in less touristy places like Lampang, they are primarily intended for locals.

The pedestrian zone is open every Saturday and Sunday from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. However, I recommend arriving after 6:00 PM, as many vendors are still setting up their stalls beforehand. Many vendors begin packing up their wares again around 9:30 PM.

Depending on where you stay in Lampang, you can reach Lampang Walking Street on foot or by bicycle (some hotels and guesthouses rent bicycles).
