Lampang offers a decent range of accommodation options, including riverside guesthouses on Talat Kao Road and midrange, Thai-style hotels -- plus a great out-of-town resort.
The Riverside Guest House boasts a collection of old wooden buildings and a garden setting right on the river, making it exactly what the flashpacker set and families travelling with children are looking for.

A riverside ramshackle meets Thai trendy guesthouse just down the road from higher profile Riverside Guest House, R-Lampang has a bunch of rooms in a couple of buildings. The cheapest rooms have shared facilities and are somewhat pokey, but the mainstay here are the air-con double rooms, which are lovingly decorated and furnished, and come with hot water bathrooms, TV with 200 channels and WiFi....

Very popular with Thai travellers, Pin Hotel would also be a hit with foreign tourists if Lampang had any as this centrally located, mid-range hotel is an excellent deal. Decoration is simple, but the clean rooms come with WiFi, air-con, hot shower, cable TV and fridge. Pin’s been around for a while and though you could say it’s perhaps due for a refurb, everything did work when we checked... Read our full review of Pin Hotel.
