    Lopburi

    Lopburi

    Lopburi, one of Thailand's oldest cities, is known for its rich history and the ubiquitous macaques that define its urban landscape. Here you'll find impressive architectural evidence from various eras, including Khmer structures and Ayutthaya temples. The Prang Sam Yot, a three-towered Khmer shrine, and the Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat are central historical sites you should explore. King Narai's Palace, now a museum, offers insights into the glorious period when Lopburi served as a second capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom in the 17th century. The numerous monkeys living around these ruins are an integral part of local culture, particularly evident during the annual Monkey Buffet Festival. Be sure to keep your personal belongings secure, as the macaques are often very tame and curious. An early morning visit allows you to experience the sites in relative peace before the daytime heat and largest tourist crowds arrive.

    Nakhon Ratchasima

    Nakhon Ratchasima, also known as Korat, serves as the significant gateway to the Isaan region and presents itself as a city with a deeply rooted history. Here, you'll encounter a fascinating synthesis of Thai and Khmer culture, manifesting in its architecture and traditions. The central Thao Suranaree Monument honors a local heroine and serves as an important landmark. Visit Wat Phra Narai Maharat to grasp the region's architectural splendor. A highlight is the excursion to Phimai Historical Park, one of Thailand's most impressive Khmer temple complexes, located just a short drive away. The city also offers authentic Isaan cuisine; try local specialties at markets like Save One Market. The months of November to February are considered the ideal travel period, as the climate is more pleasant then.
