Only several kilometers away from the most popular part of the city (near the riverside) lies Lampang Bus Station. This station offers direct bus and minivan trips to Phrae, Bangkok, and Lamphun. If you wish to travel to other destinations, you will first have to travel to Chiang Mai or Bangkok and change the bus from there. This is the main long-distance minivan and bus station in Lampang, but it has few facilities like a toilet and a shop on the second floor of the building.
