Only two places caught our attention in Lopburi, one of them turned out to be one of the major highlights of our trip. First, there was the former Royal Palace from the 17th century. Secondly, was Phra Sam Yot, a Hindu turned Buddhist shrine from the 10th century, which has been inhabited by countless monkeys that feed off of handouts from tourists arriving at the nearby train station. They were everywhere!! Climbing up the sides of the surrounding buildings, swinging from power lines, harassing tourists for food, etc.
