The province has a large deposit of lignite in Mae Moh district, fuelling several coal-fired electricity generating plants, whose pollution has severely affected the local populations.{{Citation needed|date=November 2016}} Lampang also has a large deposit of kaolin which is widely utilized in the ceramics industry. Historically, logging was an important industry, since Lampang, together with nearby Phrae had a large stand of teak. Many elephants were employed to transport the logs to the river for transport to Bangkok, hence the founding of an "elephant school", the predecessor of the Thai Elephant Conservation Center. Much of the old growth teak stands in Lampang had been thoroughly harvested. CultureLampang, also called "mueang rot ma" in Thai, meaning "horse carriage city", is considered by some Thais as the last paradise in Thailand.{{Citation needed|date=November 2016}} It is about 100 km to the southeast of Chiang Mai. Although well-connected by rail, and four lane highways to both Bangkok and Chiang Mai, it is here that tourists can still find horse-drawn carriages in regular use for transportation. One account attributes the horse-drawn carriage to the Portuguese, via Macau, although a more likely origin is colonial Burma. Lampang was an important center of the timber industry in the early-20th century and saw an influx of migrants from British-controlled Burma. The horse-drawn carriage is one of the most memorable symbols of Lampang, as reflected in many traditional products. Lampang has a few institutions of higher learning, such as Yonok College, and a branch of Thammasat University. TransportationThe city is an important highway hub, with a four lane highway link to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, as well as a major highway to Phrae and the eastern Lanna provinces. Lampang is roughly a 1.5 hour bus ride to Chiang Mai. Lampang is a stop for the Chiang Mai-bound train, approximately 10 hours from Bangkok. Lampang Airport is served by Bangkok Airways (three flights daily to Suvarnabhumi Airport) and Nok air (four flights daily to Don Mueang) (Oct 2015). Landmarks and tourist attractionsTourists typically stop by for lunch and visit the more famous attractions such as Wat Phra That Lampang Luang and the Thai Elephant Conservation Center and then proceed to points further north such as Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai. Less well-known tourist attractions in Lampang are thus mostly visited by locals. Among these are the Wang Kaeo Waterfall and the Chae Son National Park, a compact park which combines a natural hot spring with large waterfalls. Many temples in downtown Lampang were built in the Burmese -tyle, originally endowed by the logging tycoons of the late-19th century. Wat Si Bun Rueang, Wat Si Chum and Wat Pa Fang are among the extant examples. Nine of the 31 remaining Burmese-style temples in Thailand are in Lampang.[5] Traditional Lanna architecture can be found at Wat Phra That Lampang Luang, on the site of ancient Lampang city. It is famous for its murals from the 19th century. The city seal features a white rooster in the temple's gate. Wat Phra Kaeo Don Tao, on the west bank of the Wang River, is said to have housed the Emerald Buddha between 1436 and 1468. Wat Phra That Chedi Sao (The Temple of Twenty Chedis) is famous for its array of twenty pagodas. Other temples of some renown include Wat Phra That Chom Ping and Wat Lai Hin both in the Ko Kha District. Mae Mo mine is a vast open pit lignite mine in the Mae Mo basin. The mine and the adjoining power generation facilities are operated by EGAT. The power plant is a major source of electric power for Thailand. EducationLampang has a number of educational institutions, including kindergartens, primary, secondary and vocational schools. Schools teach in the English, Thai, and Chinese languages. Lampang also has a number of universities: Lampang Rajabhat University, Rajmangala University of Technology, Nation University (formerly Yonok) and a satellite campus of Thammasat University. Lampang College of Commerce and Technology (LCCT) and Lampang International Technical College (LIT) are well known schools which teach technology.

Traditional names for Lampang include Wiang Lakon and Khelang Nakhon. The city is a trading and transportation center. Lampang lies 601 km north of Bangkok and 101 km southeast of Chiang Mai.==Geography==Lampang city is in the valley of the Wang River, bordered by the Khun Tan Range on the west and the Phi Pan Nam Range on the east. The river, a major tributary of the Chao Phraya, flows through the city. The city lies mainly on the south side of Wang River, although the old parts of the city had been originally developed in the north side of it. Nowadays, downtown Lampang has grown in the southeast of the river along Bunyawat and Pahon Yothin Roads.==Climate==Lampang has a relatively dry climate relative to nearby provinces. "Winter" starts after the last rains, typically November, and lasts until March. Cold air masses from Siberia sometimes lead to nighttime temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius, although that is quite rare. Winter is characterized by dry, sunny, and quite pleasant days, and cool and occasionally foggy nights. In recent times, the blue winter sky is often marred by the practice of burning the fields after the harvest, as well as the smog generated by Mae Mo coal-fired power plants.Summer typically runs from March until June. The temperature could soar to 40 degrees Celsius in April. Late afternoon thunderstorms and hailstorms are frequent.Rainy season runs from June until November, and significant rain may occur in May as well. Being in a relative rain shadow, Lampang receives less precipitation than neighboring provinces and rarely suffers from the flooding which has plagued Chiang Mai in recent years.{{Weather box|width=auto| location = Lampang (1981–2010)| metric first = Yes| single line = Yes|Jan record high C = 36.9|Feb record high C = 40.0|Mar record high C = 42.5|Apr record high C = 43.5|May record high C = 43.0|Jun record high C = 41.1|Jul record high C = 38.6|Aug record high C = 37.6|Sep record high C = 36.5|Oct record high C = 37.8|Nov record high C = 36.5|Dec record high C = 36.0|year record high C = 43.5| Jan high C = 31.6| Feb high C = 34.4| Mar high C = 37.2| Apr high C = 38.3| May high C = 35.5| Jun high C = 34.0| Jul high C = 33.3| Aug high C = 33.0| Sep high C = 32.8| Oct high C = 32.3| Nov high C = 31.3| Dec high C = 30.2| year high C = 33.7|Jan mean C = 22.2|Feb mean C = 24.7|Mar mean C = 28.0|Apr mean C = 30.0|May mean C = 28.8|Jun mean C = 28.3|Jul mean C = 27.8|Aug mean C = 27.4|Sep mean C = 27.0|Oct mean C = 26.3|Nov mean C = 24.2|Dec mean C = 21.6|year mean C = 26.4| Jan low C = 15.0| Feb low C = 16.6| Mar low C = 20.1| Apr low C = 23.4| May low C = 24.2| Jun low C = 24.4| Jul low C = 24.1| Aug low C = 23.9| Sep low C = 23.5| Oct low C = 22.3| Nov low C = 19.1| Dec low C = 15.3| year low C = 17.0|Jan record low C = 8.0|Feb record low C = 8.7|Mar record low C = 11.5|Apr record low C = 18.4|May record low C = 18.5|Jun record low C = 21.9|Jul record low C = 21.2|Aug record low C = 21.2|Sep record low C = 19.6|Oct record low C = 14.1|Nov record low C = 8.2|Dec record low C = 3.7|year record low C = 3.7| rain colour = green| Jan rain mm = 2.8| Feb rain mm = 8.8| Mar rain mm = 22.8| Apr rain mm = 65.9| May rain mm = 160.4| Jun rain mm = 117.5| Jul rain mm = 134.6| Aug rain mm = 186.3| Sep rain mm = 211.6| Oct rain mm = 98.3| Nov rain mm = 29.5| Dec rain mm = 7.0| year rain mm = 1045.5| Jan rain days = 0.8| Feb rain days = 1.4| Mar rain days = 3.0| Apr rain days = 6.6| May rain days = 15.1| Jun rain days = 15.4| Jul rain days = 17.4| Aug rain days = 18.5| Sep rain days = 17.7| Oct rain days = 11.2| Nov rain days = 3.7| Dec rain days = 1.0| year rain days = 111.8| Jan humidity = 70| Feb humidity = 62| Mar humidity = 57| Apr humidity = 60| May humidity = 72| Jun humidity = 76| Jul humidity = 78| Aug humidity = 81| Sep humidity = 83| Oct humidity = 82| Nov humidity = 78| Dec humidity = 75|year humidity = 73|Jan sun = 272.8|Feb sun = 257.1|Mar sun = 294.5|Apr sun = 243.0|May sun = 198.4|Jun sun = 156.0|Jul sun = 120.9|Aug sun = 117.8|Sep sun = 144.0|Oct sun = 182.9|Nov sun = 216.0|Dec sun = 254.2|year sun = |Jand sun = 8.8|Febd sun = 9.1|Mard sun = 9.5|Aprd sun = 8.1|Mayd sun = 6.4|Jund sun = 5.2|Juld sun = 3.9|Augd sun = 3.8|Sepd sun = 4.8|Octd sun = 5.9|Novd sun = 7.2|Decd sun = 8.2|yeard sun = 6.7|source 1 = Thai Meteorological Department{{cite web| url = http://climate.tmd.go.th/content/file/75| title = Climatological Data for the Period 1981–2010| publisher = Thai Meteorological Department| page = 2| accessdate = 31 July 2016}} 2. ^{{cite web| url = http://water.rid.go.th/hwm/cropwater/CWRdata/ETo/ETo_PenMon_2554.pdf| title = ปริมาณการใช้น้ำของพืชอ้างอิงโดยวิธีของ Penman Monteith (Reference Crop Evapotranspiration by Penman Monteith)| publisher = Office of Water Management and Hydrology, Royal Irrigation Department | page = 17| language = Thai| accessdate = 31 July 2016}} 3. ^"Historic Lampang", in: Forbes, Andrew, and Henley, David, Ancient Chiang Mai Volume 4.
