About Travel to Lopburi

Lopburi is a small and unremarkable city with around 60,000 permanent residents, except for two things: there are three magnificant Khmer style temples in the city built in the same distinctive style as the temples of Angkor Archaeological Park in Cambodia, and the older part of the city centre is full of wild monkeys. The monkeys are an annoyance to the people who live Lopburi, but they are also an important part of the local culture and they attract tourists. Efforts to reduce or control the numbers of monkeys over the years have proved to be largely ineffective and instead the local people have learned to live with these urban primates. Indeed, once a year in Lopburi, during the last weekend of November, there is a Monkey Festival where the monkey are fed vast amounts of fruit and vegetables at long tables.

Lopburi is one of Thailand’s oldest continuously inhabited towns, believed to been established in the 6th Century by people probably from India. During the 12th and 13th Century Lopburi was controlled by the powerful Angkor Empire whose capital city was Angkor Wat in Cambodia. During that time they constructed three impressive Khmer style temples in Lopburi city centre, all within walking distance of the train station: Phra Prang Sam Yot, San Phra Kan, and Wat Phra Sri Rattanamahathat. These temples are very different to the more famous ruins in Ayutthaya and well worth the trip to Lopburi to come to see them.

Lopburi’s other famous historical sites are Phra Narai Ratchaniwet and Baan Vichayen. Lopburi was briefly, during the 17th Century, the capital city of Thailand. Phra Narai Ratchaniwet was the palace of King Narai, and Baan Vichayen was the former home of the French Ambassador and later the home of Constantine Phaulkon. Constantine Phaulkon was a Greek sailor who managed to work his way up to become something akin to the Prime Minister of Thailand, under King Narai. Baan Vichayen is an unrestored ruin, whereas Phra Narai Ratchaniwet has been rebuilt several times and substantially modified to house museum exhibits.
