Built in the 13th century, this is one of the town's most important monasteries; visitors can view a bas relief illustrating the Buddha's life on the central prang. No monkeys.

The site of a small shrine, the remains of a Khmer prang, a few stalls and lots of monkeys. The stalls sell offerings to be dedicated at the shrine, and food and drink. The monkeys eat the food, drink, offerings and anything else going. Good for a few photos. There are signs warning of purse-grabbing by the monkeys, but they appear docile if not provoked.

A Khmer-style temple known for its three linked towers.

An annual 10-day cultural celebration held every February. It commemorates the reign of King Narai the Great (1656–1688), who transformed Lopburi into the kingdom’s second capital. Locals would wear traditional Thai attires with many activities including retro markets, light shows and other cultural activities.
