Travel Thailand Lopburi Monkey Town Phra Kann Shrine Prang Sam Yot
Lopburi is the capital city of Lopburi Province in Thailand. It is about 150 kilometres (93 mi) northeast of Bangkok. Today the city is best known for the hundreds of crab-eating macaques (Macaca fascicularis) that live in the middle of the city, especially around the Khmer temple, Prang Sam Yot and a Khmer shrine.
Come along with us as we journey by train from Ayutthaya to Lopburi for the day. We check out the ruins sites of Wat Phra Sri Rattananmahathat, Prang Khaek, the Phra Kaan Shrine, and Phra Prang Sam Yot. We walk through old town where the monkeys run rampant on the streets and eventually ending up at the Prang Sam Yot which is dominated by the macaques.

Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat in Lop Buri - Thailand 4K Travel Channel
The next morning we leave the hotel and pass again Phra Prang Sam Yot, the monkey temple. We continue and come along Wat Prang Khaek, Central Thailand's oldest Wat. It lies on a not very big traffic island. The original Hindu temple was restored in the 17th century.
But actually, we want to visit Narai Ratchaniwet, the palace compound of King Narai. He had built it as his second residence, next to the palace compound of Ayutthaya, in the 17th century. After its death, it was not used anymore and decayed increasingly. King Mongkut restored it only in the 19th century. Today it is a museum.
Our problem starts here. It is Monday and Monday, as a rule, the museums are closed in Thailand. Unfortunately, therefore we cannot go to the complex. Instead, we drive on and visit Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat.
Presumably, it was founded in the 11th or 12th centuries. When King Narai chose Lop Buri as his secondary residence, the Wat was largely dilapidated. But, he had restored all temples in the province, including this one. He also added a large Wihan (main assembly hall) and some chedis to the complex. After his death, the temple was given up again to decay.
The Wihan stands out due to high windows with pointed portals.
One building looks like a Christian church. Narai was very tolerant to missionaries. Yet, he was only interested in the architectural construction of the churches.
A number of very beautiful reliefs and stucco decorations are scattered on the site.
Today, the Wat lies directly at the railway station of the railway line from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. Therefore, an old steam locomotive is exhibited at the square between Wat and Central Station.

Am nächsten Morgen passieren wir, vom Hotel kommend, nochmals Phra Prang Sam Yot, den Affentempel. Wir fahren weiter und passieren auch das Wat Prang Khaek, Zentralthailands ältestes Wat. Es liegt auf einer nicht gerade großen Verkehrsinsel. Der ursprüngliche Hindutempel wurde im 17. Jahrhundert restauriert.
Aber wir wollen ja eigentlich zum Narai Ratchaniwet, der Palastanlage von König Narai der Große. Er ließ sie als seine zweite Residenz, neben der Palastanlage in Ayutthaya, im 17. Jahrhundert errichten. Nach seinem Tod wurde sie nicht mehr genutzt und verfiel zunehmend. Erst König Mongkut ließ sie im 19. Jahrhundert restaurieren. Heute ist sie ein Museum.
Hier beginnt unser Problem. Es ist Montag und Montags sind in der Regel in Thailand die Museen geschlossen. Deshalb können wir die Anlage leider nicht besuchen. Statt dessen fahren wir weiter und besichtigen das Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat.
Vermutlich wurde es im 11. oder 12. Jahrhundert gegründet. Als König Narai Lop Buri zu seiner Nebenresidenz erkor, war das Wat schon weitgehend verfallen. Er ließ aber sämtliche Tempelanlagen in der Provinz wieder restaurieren, so auch dieses. Außerdem ergänzte er die Anlage um einen großen Wihan (Hauptversammlungshalle) und einige Chedis. Nach seinem Tod wurde der Tempel wieder dem Verfall preis gegeben.
Der Wihan zeichnet sich durch hohe Fenster mit spitzen Portalen aus.
Ein Gebäude sieht aus wie ein christliche Kirche. Narai war sehr tolerant gegenüber Missionaren. Er war aber nur an der architektonischen Errichtung der Kirchen interessiert.
Auf dem Gelände verstreut sind eine Reihe sehr schöner Reliefs und Stuckdekorationen zu finden.
Das Wat liegt heute direkt am Bahnhof der Bahnlinie von Bangkok nach Chiang Mai. Deshalb wurde am Platz zwischen Wat und Hauptbahnhof eine alte Dampflokomotive ausgestellt.

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.
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.

Ayutthaya temples aerial footage, Thailand Part 3
You couldn't find better aerial footage of the fabled temples of Ayutthaya in Thailand!
Ayutthaya is named after the city of Ayodhya in India, the birthplace of Rama in the Ramayana (Thai, Ramakien); Phra is a Thai royal and noble title; Nakhon designates an important or capital city; Thai honorific Sri or Si is from the Indian term of veneration Sri.
Ayutthaya (full name Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya; also spelled Ayudhya) city is the capital of Ayutthaya province in Thailand. Located in the valley of the Chao Phraya River, the city was founded in 1350 by King U Thong, who went there to escape a smallpox outbreak in Lop Buri and proclaimed it the capital of his kingdom, often referred to as the Ayutthaya kingdom or Siam. Ayutthaya became the second Siamese capital after Sukhothai. Its remains, characterized by the prang (reliquary towers) and gigantic monasteries, give an idea of its past splendour. It is estimated that Ayutthaya by the year 1600 CE had a population of about 300,000, with the population perhaps reaching 1,000,000 around 1700 CE, making it one of the world's largest cities at that time. In 1767, the city was destroyed by the Burmese army, resulting in the collapse of the kingdom. The Ayutthaya historical park is the ruins of the former capital of the Kingdom of Siam. It is the site of sacked and destruction of the Ayutthaya city, its art and buildings by the Burmese in 1767, which is recognized internationally as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city was refounded a few kilometers to the east. The city is sometimes called Venice of the East.

Monkey Temple In Lopburi
As tour guides and avid motorcycle riders we would be neglecting our duty if we did not take you to see some of the more famous sites in Thailand and give you some of the history and background.
This week we travelled some 270kms of great roads from Pattaya to an ancient city called Lopburi and visited what is now known as the monkey temple or to give it its correct Thai name Prang Sam Yot.
The temples was built when Lopburi was under the control the Khmer empire at around 12th or early 13th Century. The temple was built by King Jayavarman VII who also constructed Ankor Thom the capital of the Khmer Empire.
At some point it was converted into a Hindu Shrine and looking around it you can still see evidence of Hindu gods in some of the carvings although most are damaged.
During the second half of the 17th Century it was again converted back to a Buddhist monument, and a brick assembly hall was added where an a Ayutthaya style seated Buddha can be seen.
When visiting the monument, as you can see from the video, it's advisable to park your motorcycle some way from the temple as the monkeys have no respect for your pride and joy.
The admission fee is 50 baht to this temple and Lopburi old town is worth a walk around as there are many other ancient monuments such as Phrang Khaek, Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat or the ruins of royal palace Phra Narai Ratchaniwet.
