Lopburi

Lopburi Province is a province in the central part of Thailand, known for its rich historical heritage, ancient Khmer and Ayutthayan ruins, and its famous population of macaque monkeys that roam freely in the city. It served as an important strategic and cultural center throughout various periods of Thai history, notably during the reign of King Narai the Great.

Interesting tourist attractions when visiting Lopburi include:

• Phra Prang Sam Yot: An iconic Khmer-style temple featuring three prangs (towers) and home to many of the city's famous monkeys. It's a popular spot for visitors to observe and interact with them.
• Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat: An extensive historical temple complex with a large central prang and various ruins, showcasing different architectural styles from the Dvaravati to Ayutthaya periods.
• King Narai's Palace (Phra Narai Ratchaniwet): A grand royal palace built by King Narai, combining Thai and European architectural influences. It now houses the Somdet Phra Narai National Museum.
• House of King Narai the Great: Another part of the former royal residence, offering insight into the king's daily life.
• Monkey Temple (Phra Kan Shrine): Adjacent to Phra Prang Sam Yot, this shrine is another central gathering point for the monkeys and a site of worship.

It is easily accessible by train or bus from Bangkok, with the journey typically taking around 2-3 hours.
