Lopburi - King Narai Monument

The monument to King Narai (Sa Kaeo Ratkrai), the greatest king in Lopburi's history, stands in the middle of the first traffic intersection on Highway 1 into the town. Further on, in a road to the right, are remains of the city wall and an old gate, the Pratu Phaniat. The arena that once stood here was where King Narai showed Chevalier de Chaumont and the other French diplomats how elephants were trained.
