Lampang, Administrative province in northern Thailand

The province encompasses 12,534 square kilometers of land with mountains, forests, and the Wang River flowing through broad valleys.

The territory became part of the Lanna Kingdom in 1292 when King Mengrai integrated it into his expanding northern Thai domain.

The provincial emblem features a white rooster at the entrance of Phra That Lampang Luang Temple, reflecting the Buddhist traditions of the region.

The area contains substantial mineral deposits including lignite, antimony, lead, and tungsten, supporting local mining and industrial activities.

More than 200 ceramic factories operate within the province, making it the primary center for pottery production in northern Thailand.
