Architecture

The station building was built in a mix of northern Thai-styled architecture and European architecture, and has two floors. The upper floor is the office of the Lampang District Traffic Department, and the lower floor is the station office. The balcony fence of the upper floor, door frames, and windows are decorated, and the entrance to the lower hall and ticket office have curved entrances.

Nakhon Lampang railway station has been well maintained over the years, retaining its many decorative features. The station received the Association of Siamese Architects' Architectural Conservation Award under the category of institutional and public structures in 1993.

In front of the station on display is steam locomotive no. 728 and a fountain. There is also a horse rickshaw stop as well.
