Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Brian1518Puerto Vallarta, Mexico109 contributionsIt is a great national park with camping and hot springs as well as waterfalls. The park is many square kilometres. I talked to manager of park and found him very informative and friendly. There are tent, sleeping bags and mats for rent and also many bungalows spread over the park for rent and a small hotel also. Many food options, souvenirs and a restaurant available. We stayed 4 days on a business retreat. Great experience.Written 3 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jeep1,445 contributionsThe temple was crowded with both tourists and locals. There were many horse carriages serving tourists in front of the temple. The entrance of this grand temple is a huge Lanna style gorgeous arch door. Many things to see inside the temple including a holy pagoda of the Ox year (zodiac) that contains Buddha's relics. We walked 3 times in clockwise direction around the pagoda to pay respect. Our guide pointed us the position of 2 bullet marks on the brass cage that surround the base of the pagoda which freed the city from Burmese general (and killed him) about 200 years ago (ask your guide for more details). Then, he led us to a little house. Inside the house (only men are allowed to enter), there is an upside down image of the pagoda on a fabric screen. This is a real-life example of an optical phenomenon that demonstrates rectilinear propagation of light passing through a small hole (same as pinhole camera). He also took us to the temple's museum. Last but certainly not least, we worshipped "Phra Kaew Don Tao", Lampang's famous emerald Buddha carved from a greenish jade found in a watermelon (according to legend of Miss Suchada). Finally, I bought a model of the pagoda, since my zodiac is ox.Written 30 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Me MooIsrael75 contributionsThe entrance fee is 100 bhat and there are free guided tours in the museum. With the ticket you get 10bhat discount for the coffee shop and 100bhat discount for the gift shop. I was alone in the guided tour, and the guide was very kind and very good English. She explained about everything in the museum. This place is some sort of a temple for the man who came all the way to to Thailand from China and founded this place which became very famous and has a very good reputation for its ceramic products worldwide. Worth a visit and to buy something nice back home for family and friends. The gift shop also offers you to paint on your own on ceramic and take back home.Written 17 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeep1,445 contributionsThis site actually has 2 temples. The popular one is "Wat Phra Kaew Don Tao" which was once resided the famous emerald Buddha for 32 years. Our guide told us about a colorful folktale about Miss Suchada and the emerald inside a watermelon which was later craved into Buddha statue. Highlights of this temple included the beautiful Burmese-European pavilion and the golden pagoda containing Buddha relic (hair). Ones may take a stroll around the place to see the other architectures and visit the museum that contains many antique collections. The other temple is the tranquil Lanna style "Wat Suchadaram".Written 3 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeep1,445 contributionsWe heard of the temple when listened to Lampang's history at Museum Lampang, so we asked our guide to take us there. Our guide told us that the temple received "award of merit" from UNESCO in 2008. The 1350 years old (approximately) temple has witnessed and took part in many significant events of the city and the kingdom such as founding of an ancient city "Khelang Nakhon" (about 1350 years ago), united with Lanna kingdom and became the center of the city (about 700 years ago), occupied by Burma (about 450 years ago), reconquest of the city from Burma (about 200 years ago), and was the place where the first city pillar of Lampang established (about 160 years ago).
At the time when we visited, the temple was serene (due to Covid pandemic?) and well-maintained. Highlight of the temple is "The hall of thousand Buddhas", an old open-air gorgeous wooden hall in a combination of Lanna-Burmese-Chinese architecture style. Inside the hall, there are 4 sitting Buddha statues face all 4 directions and 1080 votive tablets decorated around its inner wall (that's why it got the name).Written 29 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
