Directly opposite the train station is this Khmer-style temple with a large prang adorned with stucco decorations and some chedi ruins. It is the oldest temple in the city and was probably also the largest. Built in the 12th century, its architecture is inspired by both the Ayutthaya and Sukhothai periods.

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).

Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat is a temple. When visiting a temple in Thailand, there are some rules to observe: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), remove shoes upon entering the building, be quiet, no hugging or kissing, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, and do not smoke.
