Lampang is primarily Wat Phrakaew Don Taoknown as Horse Carriage City “Muang Roth Ma” as horse carriages commonly seen by visitors portray people’s ways of life and their familiarity with them. At present, Lampang is the only town in Thailand where horse carriages public transport. Tourists can feel the liveliness as well as listen to the description about the historical sites in Lampang by horse driver. In addition horse carriages, another real symbol of Lampang province hardly known by people is “Kai Kau” (white cock) which stands in front of the city gate as the emblem of Lampang. Moreover, the picture of “Kai Kau” is commonly found on signposts, bridges and old buildings. It has been retold that during Buddha period Buddha visited this province. When Indra knew, he was afraid that people would not get up in himself as “Kai Kau” to wake the people up. Lampang is therefore called “Kukkuk Nakorn” meaning “Kai Kau”. The sound “kikkuk” is similar to cock’s cry but the source if sound is originally unknown.
