Must-see places in Lopburi
Things to see and do in Lopburi
Lopburi has some temples to visit. They are less interesting than the one in Ayutthaya, Sukhothai or Kamphaeng Phet but the curiosity of the city are its monkeys. They literally colonized a large part of ??the city where they are the kings. It is practically impossible to visit Prang Sam Yod without taking the risk of them trying to climbing on you or stealing some of your belongings.At the end of the page, I have also listed some good tours, excursions and activities you can do in or from Lopburi.

Must-visit places in Lopburi
Phra Prang Sam Yot
พระปรางค์สามยอดMy opinion : 5/5
located on a little hill not far from the railway, it consists of 3 prangs and is very popular with monkeys, it is the most famous monument in Lopburi.
Phra Kan Shrine
ศาลพระกาฬMy opinion : 4/5
This sanctuary, if revered by locals, mainly attracts tourists for its horde of monkeys. It's a bit like their headquarters as I like to say. With the neighboring Prang Sam Yod, these are the two places in Lopburi where you will see the most numérous monkeys.
Wat Huai Kaew
วัดห้วยแก้วMy opinion : 5/5
This temple with its Khmer style pagoda (not period) built in the middle of a pond is very photogenic and is well worth a short visit, especially since in the area where it is located, there are other temples interesting to discover if you are transported.Find a room in Lopburi
