Lamphun Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Blue sǎwngthǎew to Lamphun (15B) from Chiang Mai leave at 30-minute intervals throughout the day from Th Chiang Mai-Lamphun, just south of the Tourist Authority of Thailand (TAT) office on the opposite side of the road. A small bus station on the same road, north of the TAT office, has regular buses going to Lamphun (20B). Buses also go from Chiang Mai Arcade bus terminal (32B).

In the reverse direction, sǎwngthǎew leave Lamphun from the queue near the intersection of Th Inthayongyot and Th Wang Khwa. The 26km ride (15B, one hour) is along a beautiful country road, parts of which are bordered by tall dipterocarp trees. You can also pick up a bus outside the Hariphunchai National Museum (15B) or go to the bus terminal on Th Sanam.
