This 13th century Buddhist temple is home to more than 2,000 macaque monkeys that originally started visiting the area to be fed fruits and vegetables by the locals during the Monkey Buffet Festival held each November. Now the monkeys have become the main attraction despite the temple’s religious and cultural significance. The compound houses three prangs, or towers, made from laterite and sandstone that are said to represent the Hindu Trimurti of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. The temple is easily accessible from the Lopburi train station and is open from Wednesday through Sunday from 6:00am until 6:00pm.
