Phra Prang Sam Yot
The Phra Prang Sam Yot is Lopburi’s best known landmark and one of its oldest. It is one of several monuments that date back to the Khmer era. The monument in the center of Lopburi town is perhaps best known for the large number of monkeys that run around free, constantly on the lookout for food.
The stupas were built when Lopburi was under the control of the Khmer empire from Angkor. The monument was likely founded in the late 12th or early 13th century during the reign of King Jayavarman VII, the King who built Angkor Thom, the capital of the Khmer empire, and the Bayon, his state temple.
