Choose by appetite
Lampang food gets better when one evening belongs to the old quarter and the rest of the meals are chosen for context rather than hype. The city is strongest when you combine Kad Kong Ta, one more deliberate sit-down dinner, and only a few hotel or cafe stops that genuinely fit the route.
