Baan Sao Nak or<br />
a house with<br />
many pillars<br />
Kad Kong Ta — the<br />
walking street<br />
and night market<br />
in Lampang’s<br />
old quarters<br />
and happening neighbourhood with art<br />
and craft spaces and chill-out cafés.<br />
To dig deeper into the lavish lifestyles<br />
<strong>of</strong> old Lampang, head to the Baan Sao<br />
Nak – or “house <strong>of</strong> many pillars” – and<br />
the Louis’ House. The former was built<br />
in 1895 by a wealthy Burmese log trader<br />
named Maung Chan Ong, and its 116<br />
square teak pillars speak <strong>of</strong> boundless<br />
bygone luxury. The Louis’ House, on the<br />
other hand, is a grand colonial mansion<br />
built by Louis T. Leonowens – an English<br />
log trader and son <strong>of</strong> Anna Leonowens,<br />
the famous English teacher in the royal<br />
court <strong>of</strong> Siam.<br />
If hunger strikes, the locals swear by<br />
Khanom Jeen Pa Boon Sri restaurant for<br />
a hot and creamy bowl <strong>of</strong> Khao Soi egg<br />
