“Shop for GI-certified Lamphun Yok Dok silk, stroll along a Lanna-style covered wooden bridge, taste the famous Longan noodles, and enjoy scenic views of the Kuang River connecting to Wiang Yong community.”
Hua Mung Tha Sing Market, locally known as Kad Khua Mung, is a historic wooden bridge over the Kuang River that has been transformed into a traditional marketplace. In the northern dialect, “Khua” means bridge and “Mung” means covered roof, reflecting its distinctive Lanna architectural design that provides shade and comfort throughout the day.
The market is a major OTOP center of Lamphun, especially renowned for its Lamphun Yok Dok silk, a world-class textile known for intricate patterns and traditional weaving techniques passed down for generations. Visitors can also find handwoven cotton fabrics, traditional clothing, wood carvings, and local handicrafts.
This bridge also serves as a cultural connection point between Wat Phra That Hariphunchai on the city side and Wiang Yong community on the eastern side, allowing visitors to explore local Tai Yuan lifestyle and heritage on foot.
Food lovers will find the market a true delight, offering dried golden longan, herbal drinks, local desserts, and the signature dish Longan noodles, a uniquely flavored specialty of Lamphun.
