ศาลพระกาฬ ลพบุรี San Phra Kan Lopburi Thailand
PHRA PRANG SAMYOD : LOPBURI
San Phra Kan shrine. The shrine is housed in a small modern (built in 1951) temple building erected hard up against the remains of an ancient prang dating from the sixth century.
The main statue in the shrine is a standing figure with four arms. It is probably meant to be Vishnu, although the Thais revere it as a type of Buddha image. There was a time when the temple grounds were filled with monkeys, but they've now been displaced by souvenir vendors. A few odd strays can still be found around the shrine, but most have moved across the street to the remains of the Prang Sam Yod temple.

This massive stone sanctuary was founded as a Hindu sanctuary in the thirteenth century by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII, the ruler who built many of Angkor Wat's most famous temples and palaces. Like most of the temples at Angkor, Prang Sam Yod was originally a Hindu temple, with the three stone towers (prangs) representing the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Visnu and Siva. The Thais later converted the shrine to a Buddhist temple when the neighboring kingdom of Ayutthaya rose to power.
While imposing, the temple itself is not particularly elegant or interesting. Most visitors seem to come to see the large troupe of monkeys that now occupies the temple, rather than the building itself. About 100 small long tailed monkeys rule the grounds of the temple, growing fat on the handouts of visitors.
Thailand: Lop Buri - Phra Prang Sam Yot
Phra Prang Sam Yot , the temple of the three towers is Lop Buri's finest landmark and is a provincial symbol.
Dating to the 13th century, the building was originally built as a Hindu shrine. Phra Sam Yot is a classic example of the Lop Buri style of architecture, constructed using laterite {a reddish clayey topsoil that hardens when dry} sandstone and the whole, once, faced in decorated stucco.
The three Prangs signify the Hindu Trinity of Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver and Shiva the Destroyer. They are joined together, each on a cruciform base with doorways on each side and connected by a covered walkway that has long since disappeared.
During the reign of King Narai the Great, the shrine was converted into a Buddhist temple and a number of Buddhist images are still evident.....
A large group of Long-tailed Macaques have made Sam Yot their home. Although wild, these monkeys are fed by the local people and the ticket booth at the temple has food for sale for them.
Lopburi Monkey Temple Prang Sam Yot (Wat San Phra Kan)
All it takes to get there is a bus, van, or train and the time to take the 3 hour journey from Victory Monument in Bangkok to Lopburi. If you are looking for a high end retreat with little animal interaction, Lopburi may not be your cup o' tea but if you are looking for....something else, something ancient something so special; 500-600 very social very playful monkeys Prang Sam Yot is where the magic lies. The Thai version of Ramayana tells a story of how Rama created the ancient city of Lopburi with the help of his friend Hanuman the Monkey. The story of Hanuman the Monkey King is an ancient one....and to participate in magic all you have to do is take a bus, van or train to Lopburi. Prang Sam Yot will be close by . Before you arrive at the temple make sure all loose items, sunglasses, train tickets, smaller sized cameras and especially food are locked, zipped tucked away...or better yet if you don't want to loose it don't bring it. There are small bags of monkey food at 20 baht for purchase. Several TA reviewers stated that the temple is smelly and the town is dirty. I would strongly disagree. The monkeys smell a little like sweaty monkeys, Thailand is so hot all year round can't blame them for being sweaty. I was sweaty too. This extraordinary animal adventure is a one of a kind and truly should not be missed. This one particular baby monkey kept eating the tiny glass beads from my shirt. She found very interesting and I found her to be very cute so it made for some very special moments. Didn't realize I was calling her my Sophie Monkey. That's 2FUN!!! Thanks for Watching!!!
AMAZING TEMPLE RUINS IN LOPBURI THAILAND | Wat Phrasri Rattana Mahathat, Lopburi Province, Thailand
These amazing temples ruins is in Lopburi, Thailand. This temple is called Wat Phrasri Rattana Mahathat, in Lopburi Province, Thailand.
I didn't expect to see a temple this good in Lopburi. It reminds me a lot of Angkok Wat in Cambodia, but a much smaller version of course.
There's something about seeing old temple ruins, there's just so much history behind them.
Wat Phrasrirattana Mahathat is a large deserted temple, it covers an area of 20 rais or about 8 acres. The layout of the temple consists of a large prang in the middle of the temple. Functioning as the principal [art, buildings, and chedis that encircle the temple.
According to the patterns of its architectures and sculptures existing in the temple, it is assumed that it must have been built since the 18-19th Buddhist century before the kingdom of Ayutthaya was established.
Evidence had shown that when Ayutthaya was in its centennial, Somdet Phra Maha Chakkraphat had ordered the renovation of this temple.
Later in the reign of King Narai The Great, the prayer hall (Viharn), the peristyle and the chedis were added. The temple was renovated again during the reign of King Boromakot.
Important monuments in the temp[le complex include a massive prang at the center of the complex surrounded with the peristyle. All the prangs were built with laterite. The main one is 30.7m tall and flanked with smaller prangs in the north and south sides.
The east side is attached with portico. The other building worth mentioning is the royal chapel (Viharn Gau Hong) which situated in front of the main prang.
Built in the reign of King Narai The Great, this large hall features traditional Thai art style nimbus shape door, the lotus-petal shaped windows and surrounded with low wall.
In front of this hall lies the robe changing pavilion, a place where the King changes his robes before performing religious ceremony inside the Royal Chapel.
This huge monastery was constantly renovated, restored and expanded over the time as can be seen in chedis, small sized prangs as well as halls around the comp[lex.
The fine arts department =has acclaimed and registered this ancient site on the 2nd August 1936.

Monkeys in Lop Buri - Thailand 4K Travel Channel
Lop Buri is known as a monkey city in Thailand. The Crab-eating macaques upset the entire urban area. But they mainly gather around the Phra Prang Sam Yot. The Phra Prang Sam Yot is a Buddhist temple complex consisting of three laterite towers in Khmer style, the so-called Prangs. The temple is the landmark of the city.
Myriads of monkeys gather here and are tolerated as they attract tourists. There are two different monkey clans facing each other here. On the temple grounds, it is the temple clan.
The other monkey clan, the market clan, has obtained a position on the opposite side of the street. Innumerable monkeys populate the facades of the houses. Both clans are not very friendly against each other. They strictly observe that no intruder violates their own territory.
Throughout the city, it is actually forbidden to feed the monkeys. But you can see people who bring food and distribute it to the monkeys.
On the opposite side in the south of the area is a small shrine, the San Phra Kan. Behind it hide the remains of a Khmer Prang, which is used as a monkey retreat. It is the only place in the city where the feeding of the monkeys is officially allowed.
But it seems that the monkeys are doing well; for the most part, they are very peaceful. The monkeys use the surrounding railway and power lines as gymnastics apparatuses. But we suspect that the power lines are in the meantime out of service. The monkeys barely take notice of the passing trains.
After watching the bustle for a while, we drive to our hotel. We don't want to do a description because it not recommendable.

Lop Buri ist in Thailand als Affenstadt bekannt. Javaneraffen machen das gesamte Stadtgebiet unsicher, besonders sammeln sie sich aber um den Phra Prang Sam Yot.
Der Phra Prang Sam Yot ist eine buddhistische Tempelanlagen, die aus drei Laterit-Türmen im Khmerstil, den sogenannte Prangs besteht. Der Tempel ist das Wahrzeichen der Stadt.
Zig Affen versammeln sich hier und werden geduldet, da sie Touristen anziehen. Es sind aber zwei unterschiedliche Affenclans, die sich hier gegenüberstehen. Auf dem Tempel-Gelände ist es der Tempel-Clan.
Auf der gegenüberliegenden Straßenseite hat ein andere Affenclan, der Markt-Clan Stellung bezogen. Die Fassaden der Häuser werden von unzähligen Affen bevölkert. Beide Clans scheinen sich nicht sehr freundlich gegenüber zu stehen. Es wird strikt darauf geachtet, dass kein Eindringling das eigenen Revier verletzt.
Das Füttern der Affen ist eigentlich im gesamten Stadtgebiet verboten, dennoch sieht man Menschen, die Nahrung vorbei bringen und diese verteilen.
Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite im Süden des Geländes befindet sich ein kleiner Schrein, der San Phra Kan. Dahinter verbergen sich die Überreste eines Khmer-Prangs, der als Affenrefugium genutzt wird. Es ist der einzige Platz in der Stadt, an dem das Füttern der Affen offiziell erlaubt ist.
Es scheint den Affen aber gut zu gehen; sie sind weitestgehend sehr friedlich. Die umliegenden Bahnanlagen und Stromleitungen werden als Turngeräte verwendet. Wir vermuten aber, dass die Stromleitungen mittlerweile außer Betrieb sind. Von den vorbeifahrenden Zügen nehmen sie kaum Notiz.
Nachdem wir das Treiben eine Zeitlang beobachtet haben fahren wir in unser Hotel. Nachdem dieses aber nicht empfehlenswert ist, wollen wir auf eine Beschreibung verzichten.

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 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......

Do you want to be scratched and robbed by organized macaque gangs? So come to Lopburi, they are waiting for you ...
