Baan Sao Nak is situated on Rat Wattana Road in Wiang Nuea
Sub-district, Mueang District, Lampang Province. It is an
ancient wooden house. Since there are up to 116 planks of
teakwood posts, this house is named “Baan Sao Nak.” The word
“Nak,” in the local language, means “many.” This house was built
in 1895 by Mong Chan Ong, the origin of the Chandraviroj family.
The house was named by MR. Thanadsri Svasti, owing to the amount
of the posts. The area of the house is around 3 Rai, consisting
of large houses in group, garage, and granary.
The
special thing of this house is that it is the architecture with
the combination of Myanmar and Lanna Style. The balcony is
influenced by Myanmar architecture; whereas, the roof and the
general structure is built in Lanna style. There is a
133-year-old Saraphi tree (Mammea Siamensis) at the front of the
house.

appliances which were used in northern people’s lifestyle in the
past; for example, the support on an elephant or Chao Luang
Lampang’s seat on the elephant’s neck, ancient casket, machine
for creasing cloth, iron coffer, lacquer ware, silverware, and
silver Lanna container of areca nut. In addition, there are the
picture of Chao Dara Rasami and the picture of the first
generation of the house owner on the wall. There is also a Lanna
granary outside and nearby the house. These stuffs are displayed
