Great site to visit! Not super busy during the weekday. I would say, it gets really hot in the afternoon so I would suggest going early morning or late evening. Wear walking shoes because there are several steps, but you can also get dropped off at Gate 4, to avoid the long stairway. We walked the stairs up and had our driver take us back.

Visited in March 2025, the ruins themselves are quite small, not much information given about them, only takes 10 minutes to walk around and glance inside (nothing of note inside). Main attraction of course are the monkeys, pretty cool to see them around the temple ruins. In my experience not aggressive at all as some have suggested, mainly ignore you or if anything are shy, tend to run away if you're within a metre of them. They give you a stick at the entrance, hope nobody actually beats them with it...

Cool ancient ruins of a Buddhist temple. Popular IG spot for both visitors and locals of Lopburi. Not necessary to pay the entrance fee as you can see it from the road, unless you want to pay 5x the price as locals to have a closer experience with the monkeys.

An ancient Khmer-style temple and one of Lopburi’s most iconic landmarks. The three connected prangs represent the Hindu Trimurti — Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva — and were later transformed into a Buddhist sanctuary. Not as many monkeys as before, since most of them have been relocated by the municipality, but you can still see some around the area. It’s now much calmer and easier to walk around without worrying about mischievous monkeys. We visited around 4:30 PM, and the temple looked stunning in the soft golden light. The weather was pleasant and not too hot — it gave the place such a cozy, peaceful feeling. The entrance fee for foreigners is 80 THB. Parking is available nearby, and the site is easy to explore. Take less than 30 mins to stroll around and take a bunch of photos. A wonderful stop to admire ancient Khmer architecture, history, and serenity — especially at sunset. 🌅

The most popular landmark of Lopburi and the most lovely animal of the province, monkeys. Went there in May 2025 and they said that most of monkeys were relocated. The monkeys are really cute but they can be a little bit snatchers. You should be extra careful and listen to the officers. Keep all your accessories in your bags. All of the small and shiny things should be put away from their sight including glasses, phones, car keys, keychains, bracelet, necklace and earings. Once you loose it, you never get it back. Please love the monkeys and be kind to them.

One of the famous landmark in Lopburi province. It was a special place for me to visit. The weather was awesome no crowd at all. They take care of the place in a good way. The ticket price is 80THB for foreigners. A good place to visit if you love history.

Oct 2025 Last visited in 2022. There were a lot more monkeys roaming around then.

A must visit when in Lopburi. It’s 200b for foreigner adults but children can enter for free, well worth the ticket price, you get an immersion of Thai history, and the grounds very well preserved. Go into the museum when it gets too hot.

Wonderful. It's 150baht for foreigners to enter. Free for children. Car parking is just inside the wall or there is on street parking around the outside. My 6yo daughter really enjoyed exploring the grounds and museums with me. Staff were all very friendly. Will visit again.

If you've come all the way to Lop Buri, may as well see the only other main sight (apart from the zoo) and something different to the usual complex It is in large grounds and peaceful and quiet. Large amount of artifacts and a good explanatory history who was perhaps responsible for keeping away the potential colonists of France, Holland, Britain and the USA.

Large and beautiful palace grounds. Lovely landscapes filled with green parks, tall trees (perhaps a century old), and ancient palace buildings. Some are completely intact, others are in partial ruins. It was nice to stroll through the palace and take many panoramic photos. The entrance fee cost 150 thb for foreign and 30 thb for local visitors. Kids can enter for free. We spent about 1.5 hours here.

Duel pricing in place for foreigners, but I don't have a problem with that. Surprisingly good inside, big area with plenty to explore. Enjoyed the museums and would definitely recommend if you're visiting Lopburi. Added bonus, unlike many areas of the city, I didn't see one Monkey.

Very well worth the 30 baht entry for Thais. Parking available at the front of the museum for free. The Museum provides a lot of interesting history from the stone age and particularly concentrated during the height of lopburi influence (11th & 17th century). Lots of important artefacts that belong in much bigger museums. The palace grounds are not covered and can get very hot but still an interesting walk through the ruins. Ticket can be bought as combo with other lopburi attractions. Be wary of monkeys around on the roads outside during the late afternoons.

For me personally the highlight of Lopburi city center. The calm atmosphere with the remainings of the palace. And also the museum with interesting artifacts. Beautiful visit.

I just went there with my friends last week. I got to see goats and hold them. I bought them food and milk. They ran after me and my friends. They were so cute. There were both adult goats and baby goats. I really liked it there. I want to go there again with my family.

Big reservior with wonderful Sightseeing view. Good atmosphere. Some people come and do exercise also.

The dam is very beautiful to look at. It is a good place to spend time with the family. At the same time, a tractor ride is being taken around the entire dam. Especially the tractor ride is very popular with children they enjoying it. Through this we can see whole dam. There are many shops inside, so food and drinking water are not a problem.

When we went the water level was pretty low for monsoon season. It has a nice little park. Lots of locals cycling, running and picnicking. Fun for the quick check in photo but not much to actually see.

A large Dam near Bangkok makes it easy to plan a one day trip. There is an aquarium nearby with many fresh water fishes. For sight seeing, there is a trolley line along the da ridge. 30 baht for adults and 10 for kids. There is also a train rail at the water level when the dam is full capacity, up north about 20 minutes that's the place you must visit for a picture.

A good spot for a quick stop while visiting Lopburi, but not quite enough to be a main attraction on its own.

Nice view but it's quite hot here. The main road to the dam will be restricted for private vehicles until 4 PM. During day time, if you want to go inside this place, you need to buy ticket for the tourist tram. The train will go along this dam only 2 time per day, so if you want see this moment (same like many beautiful photos on Google), you should check the time carefully.

This sunflower field is a good experience for photographers and lovers of nature too. And at 20baht entry for adults it is a reasonable price. There were food vendors there, as well as novelty gift stalls. For children there is a small petting zoo. And out in the sunflower fields they have props such as windmills to aid as props for photographers. Worth a visit.

OMG what a beautiful place!!! We went during the Sunflower Festival, so was pretty busy, but not intolerable. Fields upon fields of stunning yellow Sunflowers with rolling mountains in the background with a huge Buddha statue situated in amongst said mountains who could ask for a better place to spend a couple of hour. Oh also up the road is a monastery with wild mikeques.

Take almost 3 hour train and take taxi again for reach the field. Don’t have public transport come here. Either drive yourself or take taxi. Sunflower field is very beautiful, some people said better come at morning, because the sunflower will face up. Taking photo will be more beautiful.

Really love the sunflower field. It's like dream come true. Mesmerized me when we were there. The view was amazing. Should go there. If you take a train from Bangkok to Lopburi it will take you about 2.5 hours,if by van ,about 2 hours. We took the train with the local to experience the 'adventure'. Tiring but new experience for us coz if you're not lucky you have to stand all the way from Bangkok to Lopburi.

Came on 19 Dec 2020 but seem they are all new plants. Should be better in Jan 2021. But the view and the wind worth a long ride journey.

Total disappointment. Forget about this Sunflower field for this season. This is supposed to be the biggest Sunflower field in Thailand but due to the lack of irritation with this year's 2017 raining season ends since End October, most of the Sunflower field has inferior growth, i.e. not tall and strong. Mostly under the normal height of 1.8 meter average even two weeks ago blossoming period. New buds are not developing for second blossoming as it shud be. The other smaller fields are better managed but this field has been abandoned since December. Not sure whether this field will be maintained or not next year. Most probably will be turned into sugarcane field. The magnificent view of Tall Strong Large Sunflowers and Rocky Hills will only be history and memories. Wait for next year and see.

No sunflower yet. According to local thai said, probably end December should be able to see it. Is a nice view though.

Good food but not spicy 🥲 service was good until it was time to pay then it took a while to get the check. The bass was too loud in the speakers causing this distortion sound. It would be probably better to turn off the bass since the music is for setting the mood only if the room causes weird distortion from the bass

very nice place, I came here for late lunch around 3 p.m and surprisingly they open the room (near garden) for me eventhus only me. I order tom yam with steam rice and it was delightful. for drink they ice thai tea also refreshing

Very good, best choice and you can have massage 👍

Great authentic thai food. Unbelievable delicious!! Must try Yum Sa Dow, Rawang Curry with crab meat also Hoi Jor Kai Pu. If you are looking for a very good place to have thai taste then Bualuang is the must to stopping by. Ps. Asking for a herbal drinks of the day too. They squeezed it fresh without sugar added.

Very Very delicious food~ Definitely worth the visit!

Food prepared by the best cooks to be found in Thailand, costly in such a fine ambience and on such high level in Bangkok, but here very affordable and with provincial easiness without snobism. I will miss this place, which means I will be back on each of my commuter journeys between North and Center.

Nice Thai food. Good services. Not expensive. Live music with several different singers.

A good and quality consistent restaurant close to the train station. Very popular amongst locals as always is a sign of good and cheap food. Food came quickly after ordering and tasted just as it was supposed to. I would gladly return to this restaurant and definitely recommend this place to other going to Lop Buri. They have both indoor and outdoor serving for those who wood like to have both opportunities

Ordered some of the vegetarian dishes but some unfortunately arrived with meat and the staff didn't seem friendly when we didn't want to eat them. Probably better to clarify before ordering any of the dishes marked 'V'.

Busy restaurant with an extensive menu. Service is efficient even during the busy hours. Came here for the steamed duck with Chinese herbs (เป็ดพะโล้) and was very satisfied. The meat was succulent and tender.

Great food, quick service. Mega efficient set up. Duck was superb. Quacking!

Classic restaurant with standard taste.

The best omelette of my life!! And the staff is so nice!

Definitely good food and drink. Good service too, but the lady shorted us $100thb and it seemed intentional. She handed it right over no question when we asked, like she was ready for it. Not saying, just saying, count your change

Came on a Sunday evening .. Wasn’t that crowded as expected Lots of choices of food Take your pick

Very nice night market with lots of food and drink. The table is ample and you can enjoy the live band singing there. You and relax and chill your night there. All the good price is very reasonable. Highly recommended 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭👍👍👍

Chilling feeling for Z one and cold beer.

Lovely atmosphere, a semi in-out doors place for evening hang out with friends, family, or even you yourself. It allows you to walk through the alleys of food stalls of various local foods and beverages on the ground floor. You can either take the meal light or heavy here. Seats and tables are arranged both on courtyard and terrace. It has a live local folk bands to perform and give pleasant mood. Parking lots provided outside/around the place-no roos/shelters though

There is Indian food out there. They have mutton kebab, masala curry, biryani, and Lassi. Their food stall named Red Onion India restaurant. The foods are tasety and flavourful. It is very good to see Indian food in Lopburi.

Lots of fun, but beware! We left at about 8pm and could not get a songthaew, taxi, bus, whatever at that time. Thankfully, our amazing host (shout out to Pee at Pee Homestay & Massage) got her cousin to come pick us up on his scooter. Z-ONE was cool. Big stage with pretty decent Thai pop rock band playing, lots of food vendors (of course, this is Thailand!) Chang beer of various sizes on offer and hard liquor. Worth a visit for sure!

Chilling place with many streetfood. Night market. Have parking and many tables.

My favorite place in Lopburi to eat authentic Thai food. Highly recommend their fresh coconut milk ice cream served with sticky rice!!!

It’s not too expensive. To reach there, you can walk from train station in shortly.

Reasonably priced and the coconut ice cream with sticky rice was pretty good! I think this place would be good for tourists as the menu is in English and has a variety of different foods.

Great restaurant with impressive choice of soft drinks based on fruits, ice creams, coffee and tea. Food is delightful and prices are bargain.

I saw the good reviews and decided to try it out. That was a mistake. This is the first place on my whole trip where the staff were legitimately unfriendly. Maybe they don’t like foreigners? The only upside was the strawberry milkshake was half decent. Otherwise, the food wasn’t great. Probably avoid if you can.

Very tasty food, fresh and also well presented. Good prices, definitely good value for money. Nice chilled out location to sit for an hour with your meal without feeling rushed.

Literally amazing - authentic Thai food served beautifully with wonderful desserts. Located next to a ruins adds to the rich experience both in the tongue and on the mind.

Local restaurant famous for Thai Puan food, a native group in Laos. Similar to Thai food. The place was in a house. There were one common room ans two private rooms, of each could accommodate about 10 persons. Food taste was fine however just average for me.

We were a party of 4 and ordered 4 dishes (2 fish, 1 chicken, 1 frog legs). Each dish looked great and taste was excellent. Meal came with free cup desserts (kanom tuay). The spicy dip sauce was very nice! Highly recommended

The food was great. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is because the staff wasn't really patient with me as a foreigner. Foreigners can bring good business. Maybe, they were really busy...I can understand that.

Old local Thai Phuan people cuisine, been around for decades, many accolades and a must visit if you come to Lopburi - it does fill up for lunch crowd so come ahead. All dishes we tried were delicious. Their must try is the fried fermented fish sticks and coconut curry popping mushroom curry with bamboo shoots, green herbs and leatherback fish paste bits (the same fish used for Thai fishcakes). The curry definitely lived up to the hype and recommendations - a traditional Thai flavour you don't find often these days. We saw locals coming in to buy the curry and diners taking away the curry and fermented fish dishes. Service was quick, staff was attentive and the free dessert is also a rare find for Thailand.

Probably the best meal we had in 3 day trip to Lopburi. Lots of hard to find 'indigenous food' menus including the popping mushroom curry. Comes with complimentary kanom thuay. Highly recommended. Portions are generous so order carefully or you might end up with too much food. Parking is on the road in front of near the restaurant. We came at 11am so were early enough to beat the crowd. The restaurant gets very busy during public holidays though and they do not accept bookings for small tables (under 10 ppl)

WHEN I FINISHED LUNCH HERE I KNEW THAT WHY THIS PLACE IS THE MOST FAMOUS RESTAURANT IN THIS LOCAL, SALUTE. LOPBURI PROVINCE IS THE DESTINATION WE MUST COME DINING HERE FOR AUTHENTIC THAI FOOD LOVER. ALL THE MENUS WE ORDERED IT WAS SO DELICIOUS AND TASTEFUL. NEVER DISAPPOINTED WITH TASTE OF ALL FOOD AT ALL, EVEN MAIN COURSE OR SWEETS, SUPERB AND PERFECT <3 EVEN THIS RESTAURANT LOOKS LIKE SO SIMPLE IN THE LOCAL,BUT THEIR FOOD IS SO AMAZING. AND THAT'S WHY THEY ALWAYS HAS CROWDED CUSTOMERS EVERY LUNCHTIME. FOR THE NEXT TIME IF I VISIT LOPBURI AGAIN,ABSOLUTELY I'M GOING THERE. YES THIS IS THE THAI RESTAURANT IN TOWN, NO EXAGGERATION.

Thai-Puan home cook signature of Lopburi that you can not miss. If you want to try the best local food and ingredient, please come.
