Why should it be Tha Ma O Community?

Tha Ma-O community is an ancient community of Lampang province since it was entitled the Khelang Nakhon. This community was established by people from various nationalities gathering and living together, fetching a perfect blend of cultures in the community. There are several tourist attractions as well as historical and cultural learning spots such as Wat Pratu Pong, which aged more than 100 years, the ancient city wall, Ku Chao Ya Suta (the ancient tomb), etc. In addition, visitors can taste many unique foods such as Hang Lay curry, Kanom Kao Pun (Thai traditional style rice ball) and Kanom Wong (Thai traditional style donut). The tram riding and cycling activities are also interesting for visitors to see the life of the old town. Other activities include how to cook Hang Lay curry from community chefs and cut paper to make Tung Phaya Yor (vintage hanger made of colored paper).
