Lopburi Province, Thailand



Located 150 kilometers from north of Bangkok. It has an interesting historical monuments and national museum with lots of archaeological facts.



Lopburi had its greatest days during the Ayutthaya period, when King Narai the Great made the city his second capital. A lot of diplomatic activity with western nations took place at Lopburi during that time.
Prior to the Ayutthaya period, Lopburi was a provincial capital of the Khmer empire, and this is reflected in statues and architecture.

The city nowadays is currently known as monkey colonies. They are present by the hundreds at Phra Prang Sam Yod, probably ruining the monument in the process. Phra Sri Mahathat is located on a large compound, housing many chedis and smaller prangs.
