The BAANLYY Area Score rates all 4 Lampang areas on a transparent 100-point scale, built from eight lived-experience factors. One number to compare at a glance — then dig into the detail that matters for a quiet, low-cost northern Thailand base.
How it's scored: each area is rated 1–10 on eight factors — value, walkability, dining & convenience, culture & heritage, quiet, transport & access, space & privacy and rental depth — and the BAANLYY Area Score is their average on a 0–100 scale. Space & privacy stands in for the beach/nightlife factor used on resort-town guides, since standalone houses with land toward Ko Kha are a genuinely different housing type from the apartments and shophouses elsewhere in the city. Lampang has no established rental index of its own yet (see the where-to-live guide), so treat these scores as directional, not a verified statistic. It's a transparent comparison starting point, not investment advice — weight the factors that matter to you.
