King Narai the Great Monument
About
The King Narai the Great Monument anchors a central roundabout in Lopburi Old Town, honoring the 17th-century Ayutthaya king who established Lopburi as his second capital. Narai's reign brought Persian, French, and Chinese diplomats to this small city — a remarkable chapter of Thai cosmopolitanism. The monument is a quick stop, but reading up on Narai's story before visiting his nearby palace ruins makes it far more meaningful.
