Visitors can enjoy a variety of local crafts and products, often at very reasonable prices. The vibrant markets and street vendors offer a unique shopping experience, showcasing the region's artisanal goods and traditional snacks.

Traveller tips
When visiting Lamphun, it's advisable to dress modestly, especially when visiting temples, to show respect for local customs. Always carry some cash, as smaller vendors may not accept credit cards.

Lastly, take the time to explore the less touristy areas to discover hidden gems and authentic experiences.
