Description

Lopburi, 153 Km north of Bangkok and formerly known as "Lavo". Following the history of Lan Na Thai (Northern part of Thailand) it was built during the Dvaravati period in 459 AD. The City of Lavo was an important ancient town of the Khmers from the 10th-13th century. Many Khmer ruins are found in and around the town. During the Ayutthaya period, King Narai the Great (1656-1688) established Lopburi as the second capital with the help of French architects. Most of the architecture of that time reflects the mixture of Thai and Western styles. It covers an area of 6,199 square Km.
