This camera is installed in the temple of Wat Ko Walukaram, built at the Vang River, in the Thai city of Lampang. Vang is the longest tributary of the larger Ping River. Its length is 335 kilometers, and the area of the basin is 10,792 square kilometers. The origins of the river are in the province of Chiang Rai, and the largest city on the river is Lampang.

In the foreground, we can see Rattanakosin, an old city bridge. One of the roads between the southern and northern parts of the city is laid over the Rassadanukul Bridge.
