Kad Kong Ta Street
กาดกองต้า
A century-old merchant street on the south bank of the Wang River, lined with wooden shophouses in colonial and Chinese-Burmese styles. It turns into a walking night market on weekend evenings.
Kad Kong Ta was the trading center of the 19th-century Wang River shipping era. Its name means “market at the wharf.” Along the streets stand wooden shophouses and colonial-style buildings left by Chinese, Burmese, and British timber merchants. The most famous is the arched-window Borsunlee Building. On weekdays you can stroll past the old architecture and cafés. On Saturday and Sunday, roughly 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., the street closes to traffic and becomes a walking night market selling Northern Thai snacks, handmade ceramics, and clothing. It is the liveliest nighttime spot in Lampang.
