Thailand: Statue of local hero Chao Tipchang, 19th century Lord of Lampang, Wat Phra Kaeo Don Tao, Lampang, Lampang Province

Lampang was originally founded during the 7th century Dvaravati period. Nothing remains from these early times, but the city is rich in temples, many of which have a distinctly Burmese flavour as Lampang had a substantial Burmese population in the 19th century, most of whom were involved in the logging industry.
