Lopburi, Province in central Thailand

The administrative region spans across 6,200 square kilometers between the Lopburi River and Pa Sak Rivers, featuring alluvial plains and hills bounded by Phetchabun Mountains.

The area, formerly known as Lavo, served as the second capital during King Narai's reign in 1666 when Ayutthaya faced external threats.

The provincial seal displays Vishnu in front of the Khmer temple Phra Prang Sam Yod, representing the strong Hindu influences in the region.

The Lopburi railway station connects to Bangkok through the Northern Line, while Route 1 provides road access to other major Thai destinations.

Local macaques receive an annual feast during November's Monkey Buffet Festival, where residents prepare elaborate food displays for thousands of primates.
