Mueang Lop Buri District, Thailand
Tha Hin,
N/A
There are several tourist attractions in the center of Lop Buri. I will mention: Wat Nakorn Kosa, Phra Kan Shrine, Prang Sam Yod. When you get there, you will also see the famous Wild Monkeys place. You probably know what attraction I'm writing about If you want to see more, go to Prang Khaek, Phra Narai Ratchanivet (it was closed during my visit) and Wat Phrasi Rattana Mahathat (my favourite). If you are concerned about hundreds of monkeys, don't visit the first three places. They are all similar. More or less damaged. However, it is worth seeing historical places and using your imagination to understand what happened there. Here I am showing photos of Phra Prang Sam Yod only...

Here you will find Khmer architecture, Buddha statues, and lots and lots of monkeys. For tourists, they are the main attraction. Some are a nuisance, others are more benign, but that's just my opinion of the tourists, the monkeys behave exactly as you would expect monkeys to behave. Keep your bags close to you, always done up, and don't bring any sweets. Monkeys love scarves, so if you are wearing one, be prepared to fight a monkey or two for it.
A \can't miss\ landmark of Lopburi. Located in the center of the city, You could park the car in the free parking lot on the other side of the rode. Only 10 fees for entry. Plenty of monkeys live here, you could see their daily life habitat ( feeding, fighting, sleep etc.), Some are dangerous so you shouldn't get too close to them. After you paid the fees, they will give you a stick to protect yourself from the monkeys, but don't bully them tho.
What a great place for a mini vacation. We took the train from Bangkok for 50 baht. It was about 2 1/2 hours out it was fun to meet the locals and try different foods along the way. We went during the yearly festival where they put out food for all the monkeys. There were monkeys everywhere. BEWARE. These little guys will steal anything they can get there hands on. Hats, hair ties, necklace, your phone!!! Water ect. Be careful. They can open zippers as well. They are very clever. But for the most part they are fun to play with.
In a very hot day you might need umbrella to protect you from the sun The place keeper said you can get inside but believe me you can't as all buildings has been occupied by wicked monkey... Yes, I said wicked monkey.
