About Lopburi
Lopburi is one of Thailand's most wonderfully eccentric provinces, a place where hundreds of macaque monkeys have claimed an ancient Khmer temple in the middle of town as their permanent home and where the resulting chaos has become one of the country's most viral vlogging subjects. Located roughly 150 kilometers north of Bangkok in the upper Central Plains, this historically significant city combines genuine archaeological importance with scenes so visually absurd that they consistently generate millions of views on YouTube.
The province sits in the transition zone between the Central Plains and the Khorat Plateau, with the Pasak River flowing through its western portion. The terrain is predominantly flat agricultural land with limestone hills rising dramatically in the eastern districts. Lopburi's elevation of around 20 meters above sea level and its inland position create a hot continental climate, with temperatures regularly exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in April. The cooler months from November to February represent the ideal visiting window, coinciding with the famous sunflower bloom that carpets thousands of hectares in the eastern districts with brilliant yellow flowers.
The Prang Sam Yot, a laterite and sandstone Khmer temple dating to the 13th century Bayon period, is Lopburi's most iconic landmark and the epicenter of its monkey population. Several hundred long-tailed macaques live in and around this temple, climbing the ancient prangs, raiding passing motorcyclists, and creating the kind of unpredictable wildlife content that drives massive engagement on social media. The annual Monkey Banquet Festival in late November takes this to an extreme, laying out elaborate fruit buffets for the monkeys in a spectacle that attracts international media coverage. Entry to Prang Sam Yot costs 50 baht for foreigners, and visitors are strongly advised to secure all belongings, remove sunglasses, and avoid carrying food.
