Kad Kong Ta, an ancient market, is one of the important art tourist attractions in Lampang. “Kad” means “market” and “Kong Ta” means “riverside road”, which is a combination of the words “riverside road market”. Since the old market is located on the Wang River,

About 90 years ago, Kad Kong Ta or Chinese market was considered an important trading center. It was a bustling economic area with vendors from various ethnicities, including Thai, Chinese, Burmese, and Westerners. Therefore, a cultural fusion occurred. The most obvious example is the “international architecture”, which includes Thai-style houses, Lanna houses, Burmese houses, and most notably, Chinese-style houses and Western gingerbread houses. This classic old style still attracts teenagers to this day.

The current Kad Kong Ta heritage site has become an “old market community” where locals live. If you experience it, you will understand its simplicity. Especially on Saturdays and Sundays, this area is a tourist attraction, the Kad Kong Ta walking street, which can attract tourists all year round.
