Near the railway line, with its Khmer-style prang 3, stands a Hindu temple that was later converted into a Buddhist temple. It is quite small and dates back to the 13th century. Many monkeys live in and around the temple. The Lopburi Monkey Festival takes place at this temple during the last week of November.

All of Lopburi's attractions are easily accessible on foot, provided your accommodation isn't too far from the train station. Alternatively, cyclocabs and tuk-tuks are readily available (especially right outside the station).

Phra Prang Sam Yot is a temple, and when visiting a temple in Thailand there are some rules to follow: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), take off your shoes when entering the building, be quiet, do not hug or kiss, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, do not smoke.
