Golden prangs, golden fields — Lopburi’s

#cityplaybook King Narai’s Palace (Phra Narai Ratchaniwet) Built in 1666 by King Narai, this palace complex served as a royal residence and a diplomatic hub where envoys from France, Persia, and China were once welcomed. It now functions as a museum, housing royal artifacts and exhibits about Lopburi’s cosmopolitan past. Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat A large ancient Buddhist temple with a central prang in Khmer style. It is less crowded than the monkey sites and offers a more serene historical experience. 3. The Monkeys of Lopburi Perhaps Lopburi’s most iconic (and divisive) feature is its monkey population. Thousands of long-tailed macaques roam freely in the old town, especially around Phra Prang Sam Yot and San Phra Kan.#lopburithailand
