Chiang Mai is the most convenient gateway for international travellers heading to Lampang. Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) is served by direct flights from Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and other regional hubs, and sits approximately 100 kilometres from Lampang — typically around 90 minutes by road under normal conditions.
For the most comfortable arrival experience, Lampang River Retreat offers private transfer arrangements from Chiang Mai Airport directly to the resort. Travel in air-conditioned comfort, with no changes, no waiting, and a warm welcome waiting for you upon arrival. Contact us in advance to arrange your transfer.
The train journey from Chiang Mai to Lampang is one of northern Thailand’s most scenic rides — gliding through forested hills and river valleys in a way no road or flight can replicate. Several daily services connect the two cities, with journey times of approximately 1.5 to 2 hours on express services. Lampang Railway Station is a beautiful, colonial-era building in itself. From the station, a short taxi or tuk-tuk ride will bring you directly to the resort.
Frequent bus services operate between Chiang Mai and Lampang throughout the day, departing from Chiang Mai Arcade Bus Terminal. The journey takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours and is a comfortable, affordable option for independent travellers. Buses arrive at Lampang Bus Terminal, from which the resort is a short taxi or rideshare ride away.
Driving from Chiang Mai to Lampang offers the freedom to stop along the way and take in the scenery at your own pace. The route via Highway 11 is straightforward and well-maintained, winding through mountain landscapes with clear signage throughout. Journey time is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic.
Bangkok to Lampang is easily manageable as a direct journey, with several transport options depending on your preference and schedule.
Lampang Airport (LPT) receives direct flights from Bangkok’s Don Mueang International Airport (DMK), operated by low-cost carriers on select schedules. Flight time is approximately 1 hour. From Lampang Airport, the resort is accessible by taxi in under 15 minutes — making this the fastest door-to-door option from Bangkok.
For travellers who enjoy a classic journey, the overnight express train from Bangkok Hua Lamphong or Krung Thep Aphiwat station to Lampang is a memorable way to travel. Depart in the evening, sleep on board, and wake up in Lampang. First and second-class sleeper berths are available. It’s sustainable travel with genuine character.
If you are transiting through Chiang Mai, refer to the Chiang Mai directions above. This is the most common routing for international arrivals.
Once you arrive in Lampang, the city is pleasantly navigable and refreshingly unhurried. Here are the local transport options our guests most commonly use:
Lampang is the only city in Thailand where horse-drawn carriages still operate as a genuine local transport tradition. A Rot Fai ride through the historic district is not just charming — it is authentically Lampang. We highly recommend this for first-time visitors as an introduction to the city’s character and pace.
Tuk-tuks and red songthaews (shared pickup trucks) are the most convenient and affordable options for getting around the city. They are widely available throughout Lampang and can be flagged down or arranged through our front desk.
Grab rideshare operates in Lampang and is a reliable, metered option for comfortable point-to-point travel. Traditional taxis are also available, particularly at the station and airport. Our team can arrange pickups and recommend trusted local drivers.
For independent explorers, rental bicycles offer a leisurely way to discover Lampang’s riverside paths, temple grounds, and neighbourhood markets at your own pace. Scooter rental is available for those who wish to venture further afield into the surrounding countryside. Ask our team for trusted rental recommendations close to the resort.
We understand that the logistics of arriving in a new destination can be the least enjoyable part of travel. That’s why our team at Lampang River Retreat is happy to assist with transport arrangements from the moment you land. Whether you need an airport transfer, a day-trip vehicle, or simply advice on the best way to reach us — we’re here.
Contact our reservations team and let your retreat begin before you even arrive.
