Near Si Thep Historical Park
San Phra Kan 94 km
A shrine in the middle of Lopburi built on Khmer foundations, honoured by both Hindus and Buddhists. Hundreds of macaques live in its grounds and the trees around it, which is why most visitors come.
Prang Sam Yot 94 km
Three Khmer towers of laterite and sandstone, joined by passages, built in the 13th century when Lopburi lay within the Angkorian world. The town's long-tailed macaques treat the ruins as their own, and they are as much the attraction as the stone.
King Narai's Palace 94 km
The palace King Narai built in 1666 when he made Lopburi the second capital of Ayutthaya, living here eight or nine months of the year. Foreign envoys were received within its white walls; after his death in 1688 it was abandoned, and it now houses a national museum.
Prasat Phanom Wan 122 km
A Khmer sanctuary of the 11th century outside Nakhon Ratchasima, built as a Hindu temple and later turned to Buddhist use. Still an active wat, it is one of the largest Khmer temples in Thailand, on ground that has yielded Bronze and Iron Age burials.
