Wat Muang Mai

Wat Muang Mai is a working Buddhist temple in Lopburi Old Town, quieter than the tourist-heavy ruins nearby. Monks go about their daily routines here, and the grounds offer a calm counterpoint to the chaos of the monkey-infested streets outside. The ordination hall features traditional murals worth a look. Visit early morning to catch alms-giving ceremonies. Respectful dress required — cover shoulders and knees.
