Thailand: Lop Buri - King Narai's Palace
I visit Lop Buri in Central Thailand. Dating back more than 1000 years, known for her Khmer monuments & mischievous antics of the resident monkey population.Today, though, I am in the centre of the old town & have come to see the remains of a great palace built between 1665 & 1677 by King Narai the Great. The King had chosen Lop Buri as his second capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom.......
He employed French architects & the palace is a mixture of Khmer & European styles...... Following his death in 1688, the palace was deserted.
Palace of King Narai the Great, Lopburi, Thailand.
King Narai the Great, the king who ruled Ayutthaya from 1656 to 1688. He ordered the palace built in 1666 in the same area as King Ramesuan. Narai stayed here for about 8–9 months a year, except during the rainy season. He designated Lopburi as the second capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom.

Thailand: Lop Buri discovered
I have come to visit the delightful & historical city of Lop Buri, in Central Thailand.
Lop Buri has a long history reaching back over 1000 years. During the centuries of the Khmer Kingdom from the 9th to the 13th centuries, Lop Buri flourished as important centre of trade & is mentioned by Marco Polo in his third book of travels. Many of the monuments in the city date from these times...
With the coming of the Ayutthaya Kingdom , Lop Buri became a stronghold for Siam culminating in becoming the second capital during the 17th century under King Narai the Great. Following his death, the city was almost completely abandoned.
Today, the city retains her historical past and is now more famous for the hundreds of long-Tailed Macaques who have made the town their own......

Ruins & monkeys at Lop Buri, Thailand
Today I've made my furthest foray out of Bangkok to date, a 155 km (96 mile) trek north to Lop Buri, a provincial city where the pace is slower and the country's history is laid bare with many important historical ruins. I take the train from Hua Lamphong station, which is a half hour BTS and MRT transfer from my apartment. Hua Lamphong is Bangkok's main station and it always gives you the feeling that you are setting out on an adventure, trekking into uncharted territories (for me at least), it is all burbling diesel engines under a cavernous canopy. The trip to Lop Buri is slightly under two hours and taking the air-conditioned diesel railcar, one arrives pretty fresh and more than ready to spend the day exploring this ancient and significant city. Lop Buri is just under 80 kilometres north of the ancient capital of Ayutthaya so it has always been important and importantly positioned stop-off throughout history and can link itself to the earliest dynasties that cast wide their embrace over this rolling flat plain that starts at Bangkok. In particular it was of importance to the Dvaravati kingdom that held sway for 400 years after the seventh century until it then fell under Khymer power until the thirteenth century, although its new masters knocked down its landmarks to insert their own influences. Its proximity to Ayutthaya gave it much influence in the following years, and King Narai, who reigned in the seventeenth century, made it his second capital. Like most Thai stations, Lop Buri is neat and well kept, and the immediate advantage is that all the monuments, ruins and other places to explore are within walking distance of the station, meaning that one is able to dispense with the taxi and tuk-tuk drivers that are always so eager to take you the long way round and charge inflated prices as soon as they see you aren't Thai. The city's affinity with monkeys is hinted at by two huge, golden statues that bookend either end of the station. In fact after passing a long since decommissioned steam engine that is now a monument, the first ruined Wat (temple) is actually bang next to the station and leads right up to the platform edge. This particular temple, called Wat Bandi Hin, was built during the rein of King Narai the Great, according to an information board handily placed outside. Opposite the station approach road is Wat Phra Sri Ratana Mahathat, a large ruined temple site complete with a 12th- to 14th-century prang (spire). A couple more turns and we are thrust head first into bustling Lop Buri. Although the power base of this city ebbed southward a long time ago, it's still a busy town with a population of around 25-30,000. Next up is Pang Khaek, another ruin, from the 10th century according to the sign, which sits in the middle of a traffic island. This town has grown up around the ruins here, squeezing them hard in the search for valuable space,. However history cannot ever be shut out in Thailand and the brilliant handiwork of craftsmen that away passed from this planet hundreds and even thousands of years ago, always thrusts themselves forward for recognition, refusing to be chocked away in the 20th century inspired sprawls. From there it is a right turn past the Chao Phraya Wichayen House, the residence of the ambassadors, an impressive ruined facade, and left round the corner to Wat Sao Thong Thong, on France Road a neat complex of ornate 17th century temple buildings that are in rude health. In a map made by French engineers, the site is described as a residence for Persians with a mosque for Islamic religious rites, while there is a building that was once a residence for foreign emissaries, most probably sent to foster ties with Ayutthaya. Meanwhile just round the corner is a bustling day market which squeezes its stalls and their billowing covers through a cluster of side streets. Lop Buri is a delight to browse, just follow the streets twists and turns to unlock its rich history. Along the road the doors of a business are flung wide open to reveal an elderly printing press noisily thumping out copy, the machine all bronzed castings and gleaming oiled pistons. Round the next corner are the towering walls of the Phra Naraj Rajaivet (King Narai's Palace), the centrepiece attraction of the city and a clear demonstration of the royal status Lop Buri once enjoyed. Built between 1665 and 1677, the ruins, I could see from the gate, are immaculately maintained, and there is also a museum reportedly stuffed with interesting historical artefacts. Unfortunately it was closed for lunch when we arrived and we never got round to going back.
