The Last Pedicab of Lampang: A Living Charm of the Past

If you visit Lampang, the city known as the “Horse Carriage Capital” that still deeply preserves Northern culture, one thing I, mr.hotsia, don’t want you to miss is encounteringthe last pedicab of Lampanga simple vehicle but deeply valuable in history and the lifestyle of the locals.

The pedicabs in Lampang are not just ordinary vehicles but symbols of memories telling the story of a city once bustling with slow-paced travel that felt warm and friendly. I had the chance to ride this pedicab myself and, through conversations with the pedicab riders who still preserve this way of life, I got to see the past life of the city.

The Uniqueness of Lampang Pedicabs

Lampang pedicabs are not just designed for one or two passengers like typical pedicabs; they are simply built with a sturdy iron frame and wooden seats. Pedaling requires full leg strength, allowing you to intimately experience the city’s atmosphere — the birdsong, the scent of roadside trees, and the lively buzz of people in markets or streets the pedicab passes by.

I remember the day I rode this pedicab around the city; it felt like traveling back in time to an era before cars were widespread, when Lampang was still peaceful and charming in its own unique way.

mr.hotsia’s Real Experience with the Pedicab

Traveling by pedicab in Lampang is not just sitting and going; it’s truly experiencing the local way of life. Along the way, I talked with the pedicab rider who shared his personal history and the changes in Lampang over the past decades. I also witnessed the vibrant atmosphere of the morning market,Asawin Marketwhich was the start and end point of that pedicab ride.

I also stopped to taste local food atOne-Baht Rice Porridge Shopfamous for its delicious and affordable dishes — a perfect energy boost after feeling the cool breeze of Lampang through the pedicab ride.
