What places to visit in Lopburi?

Must-visit places in Lopburi

Phra Prang Sam Yot

พระปรางค์สามยอด

---

My opinion :

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

ศาลพระกาฬ

---

My opinion :

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

วัดห้วยแก้ว

---

My opinion :

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.

Other nice places to visit in Lopburi

Wat Muang (Ang Thong)

temple especially interesting for its huge sitting Buddha 95 meters high, the highest in Thailand. You can touch Its hand from a little stage

Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat

opposite to the train station, Khmer-style, you can discover its remains with its wihann and its prangs.

Wat Khao Wong Phrachan

If there is a large golden Buddha image that should be available to visit in early 2020, people mostly come here for the challenge of climbing up Khao Wong Prachan Mountain which is behind the statue and is the tallest in Lopburi province.You can reach the summit after having climbed 3790 steps.

Phra Narai Ratchaniwet

this vast former royal palace is fully integrated into the city and hosts a museum about the province history

Khao Phraya Doen Thong Viewpoint

This mountain, which culminates at 800 meters above sea level, offers a nice view over the valley, the artificial lake formed by a dam and the longest railway bridge in Thailand. It is an ideally oriented point of view to enjoy a beautiful sunrise.

Wat Phanit Thammikaram

This small temple of the province of Lopburi is remarkable for its unusual architecture. Indeed, its ubosot (ordination hall) is built on a giant turtle -shaped base.

Khok Salung Railway Bridge

This long railway bridge marking a 18 kilometers curve is the longest of its kind in Thailand. It allows you to cross the artificial lake created by the construction of the Pa Sak Jolasid dam. It is especially interesting to come and visit with the train excursions from Bangkok.
