Viaja en el tiempo con una visita a la encantadora e histórica Lampang, la puerta de entrada al norte de Tailandia. Desconocida aún por turismo de masas, te permitirá observar el mundo de los tailandeses de hoy y de los de hace siglos. Aquí los lugareños también tienen trompas... ¡de elefante! Durante años, se utilizó la fuerza bruta de estos animales para arrancar la madera de teca de la selva para la importante industria maderera de la región. Hoy en día los elefantes disfrutan de una vida más tranquila en el Centro de Conservación de Elefantes de Lampang. Situado en un frondoso bosque, el centro acoge a más de 50 elefantes asiáticos, entre ellos algunos de los elefantes blancos del Rey. Los elefantes no son explotados como a menudo ocurría con la industria maderera. Veremos una demostración de una hora de sus usos históricos. Este pionero santuario de animales y centro científico ha investigado sobre el aparato locomotor de estos animales gigantescos pero a la vez elegantes. Pero nuestras aventuras con animales no terminan aquí. Recorreremos el centro de la ciudad de Lampang en carruajes tirados por caballos, al igual que lo hacen los locales. No hay necesidad de un autobús o un tuk-tuk. Los carros son un medio de transporte habitual en la tradicional Lampang. A trote ligero descubriremos una ciudad que ha conservado gran parte de su atractivo arquitectónico antiguo. ¡No hay rascacielos a la vista! Dentro de la antigua ciudad, podremos admirar la arquitectura tradicional Lanna y los murales del templo Wat Phra That Lampang Luang. También nos detendremos en el templo Wat Phra Kaew Don Tao en la margen occidental del río Wang. El famoso Buda de Esmeralda se encontraba aquí en el siglo XV.

Do you want to make your time in Bangkok special?Now you can do it with this pack. Visit one of the largest sealife centres in all Asia and uncover the royal and spiritual riches of Bangkok with a cultural half-day guided tour taking in the architectural masterpiece that is the Grand Palace of the kings of Siam and the wonderful Wat Pho and Wat Traimit temples.
Half Day Royal Grand Palace And Bangkok Temples
The Grand Palace is the historic royal mini-city located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. It comprises dozens of buildings, courtyards, halls, temples, pagodas, garden and even a miniature mountain. The palace was the residence of the kings of Siam from 1782 to 1925 and among the attractions are the Funeral and Coronation halls while another big draw is the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, where a 45cm statue of the Gautama Buddha was carved from one piece of solid translucent jade.
Adjacent to the Grand Palace is the city’s oldest temple, Wat Pho, which is famed for the Reclining Buddha. This 43 metre-long figure is covered in gold leaf and reaches up to 15 metres at its highest point. There are also more than 1,000 images of the Lord Buddha as well as a sacred tree.
Conclude the tour at the Wat Traimit temple, which is home to a 5.5-tonne solid gold Buddha with an intriguing tale to tell. The Golden Buddha is believed to be about seven centuries old and at some point it was covered in plaster to hide its true value. Over time, this was forgotten and it was only when it fell in 1954 that its true composition was discovered.
