This is a really nice national park you can go to from Lampang by getting on a shuttle bus on Talad Gao Road.

Alternatively, if you enjoy nature, come here and relax in the National Park for a couple of nights.
Then head back to Lampang on the same bus.
If you're driving
Take Route 1039 from the northwest end of the town. Once on the outskirts of the city, a sign on Route 1157 directs you to Mueang Pan. Drive 60 km until you see a sign pointing left to "Chae Son National Park" on Route 1252. Continue driving for around 10 kilometres until you see a much bigger sign pointing left. Drive another 5 km, and you will arrive.
