Burmese ConnectionLampang has hosted human civilizations for over 1,400 years, yet the most influential period architecturally was the late 19th to early 20th centuries, when Burmese foremen worked in local teak mills. Burmese traders followed, and these two groups built fantastic temples throughout the city. Many still stand today (some with Burmese abbots) and are an important part of any visit to the north.
