History of Lampang horse carriage dated back around
85 years ago (during King Rama V period). At that time
the first horse carriage was bought from Bangkok. Later on
when motor cars became more popular the horse carriages
were moved to Lampang and other provinces. Surprisingly
only Lampang has retained this charming services.
