Grab your bags, walk out of arrivals at Lampang Airport (LPT), and collect your rental car. Which one you grab the keys to depends on where you want to go. If you’ll be spending a good deal of time driving in downtown Lampang, around 9 miles from the terminal, you’ll want something zippy. A compact car with nimble handling will suit those busy city streets. But with so many things to see, like the picturesque coral reefs of the region, you may want to make a few pit stops. A bigger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make longer road trips a pleasure.
