Lopburi is a large province in Central Thailand. The provincial capital is also called Lopburi and is one of Thailand’s oldest cities.

Prehistoric artifacts have been discovered in the area; it was a major settlement during the Dvaravati era (between the 6th and 11th centuries), and it was also an important town during the Khmer period. It came under Thai rule in the late 13th century and served briefly as a Siamese capital.

Today, Lopburi has two distinct areas: the Old Town and New Town. Most places of interest to tourists can be found in the atmospheric Old Town. There are fascinating Ancient Ruins to explore, and part of the town is overrun with mischievous crab eating macaques.

Many people start around Wat Prang Sam Yod, an ancient Khmer period temple that is also known as the Monkey Temple. Although small, the ruins are interesting, with three prangs and a large stone Buddha statue. It’s also easy to see the Khmer influence in the architecture.

There are many small temple ruins to see as well as the former royal palace of King Narai. Other interesting things to see include the oldest building in the city, the city wall and so much more.

The best part about exploring places like this is you never know what you will see.
