Phra Prang Sam Yot, Buddhist temple complex in Lopburi, Thailand.

The stone temple features three tall Khmer-style towers decorated with intricate carvings depicting religious figures and mythological scenes throughout its walls.

King Jayavarman VII of the Khmer Empire constructed this religious site in the 13th century as a Hindu shrine before its conversion to Buddhism.

The temple complex demonstrates the integration of Khmer architectural elements into Thai religious structures through its prangs and decorative stone carvings.

Visitors can access the temple grounds daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available at the entrance providing detailed information.

A large population of macaque monkeys inhabits the temple grounds, leading to the creation of an annual Monkey Buffet Festival since 1989.
