Short answer: Lopburi is the city of monkeys and ancient ruins. The old town around Phra Prang Sam Yot and the railway station is the best base — walk to King Narai’s Palace, the old temples and the night market (but mind the monkeys). For newer, quieter hotels without monkeys choose the new town to the east; in winter, sunflower-season trips lean toward the Pa Sak Jolasid Dam area.
