Trip to Lopburi, Thailand 🇹🇭

It was a trip to Lopburi, Thailand with my partner. When we visited Lopburi, we were struck by its unique blend of ancient ruins, charming sunflower 🌻 fields, and playful monkeys 🐒 This small city has plenty to offer for photography enthusiasts, and we would highly recommend it for anyone seeking a mix of history and natural beauty. We started our exploration at Phra Prang Sam Yot, an ancient Khmer-style temple that is famous for its playful resident monkeys 🐒 The contrast between the weathered stone ruins and the lively macaques created a unique photo opportunity 📸 We recommend visiting in the early morning ⛅️ when the light is soft, and the monkeys are most active 🙌 📍Phra Prang Sam Yot, Tha Hin Sub-district, Mueang Lopburi District, Lopburi, Thailand We also explored Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat, one of Lopburi’s most iconic temples. The intricate stone carvings and towering prangs made for stunning pictures 📸 especially during golden hour when the sunlight highlighted the temple’s details. The peaceful atmosphere here is perfect for those looking to capture timeless beauty ✨ 📍Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat, Tha Hin Sub-district, Mueang Lopburi District, Lopburi, Thailand We also explored the Lopburi’s famous sunflower fields 🌻 These vibrant fields bloom between November and January, creating a sea of yellow that’s perfect for photos 📸 We visited in the late afternoon to capture the golden light, which added a warm glow to our pictures 💯 📍Sunflower Fields, Phatthana Nikhom District, Lopburi, Thailand We then visited King Narai’s Palace 👑 a historic site that blends Thai and European architectural styles. The ruins of the grand halls and courtyards made for atmospheric shots, and we recommend visiting in the late afternoon when the shadows add depth to your photos 📸 📍King Narai’s Palace, Tha Hin Sub-district, Mueang Lopburi District, Lopburi, Thailand Lastly, for a more serene setting, we visited the Pasak Chonlasit Dam. The panoramic views 😍of the reservoir and the surrounding hills were absolutely stunning, especially at sunset 🌇 It’s a peaceful spot that’s ideal for landscape photography 📸 📍Pasak Chonlasit Dam, Chong Sarika Sub-district, Phatthana Nikhom District, Lopburi, Thailand Whether you’re interested in historical ruins, vibrant sunflower fields 🌻 or unique encounters with monkeys, we’d recommend Lopburi as a must-visit destination in Thailand. Every corner of this city offers a picture-perfect moment waiting to be captured 🙌🙌🙌 #thailandtrip #vacation #travel
