These Lampang flowers are raised for sale, and frequently find their way to the flower markets of Bangkok. Flowers are raised in this place because of the cool climate of Lampang.

Lampang began life in the late 1600's and was initially inhabited by Mon tribe, which would not regard theirselves to be Thai (or Tai) simply because they came from the great Khmer empire. It was controlled by Burmese rule for a long time until eventually the province collaborated with Siam the great state which eventually became known as Thailand.

Lampun is on the Ping river which is an ancient trading path for the flowers into Chiang Mai and further south into the country.

Lampun is only 15 miles from Chiang Mai.

In the late 1100's this part of the Mon empire went under to the Lannas until it had been ruled by the Burmese for two centuries. Thailand was then finally formed by a collaboration of numerous provincial leaders and the Burmese were finally removed from Thailand altogether.
