Recommendation hotel in Lopburi

Recommendation hotel in Lopburi
Actually,there are many hotel in Lopburi but the one I would like to recommend is Lop Buri Residence because I used to stay in this hotel for many time the service was good and the room quality also good as well and for the price is about 600 baht per night include a morning breakfast and for other service is pool if you want to swim and relax.The hotel is located just about 200 meters from SRA KEAW circle so this hotel is in the center point of Lopburi which is you can easily go to the city or to Bic C supermarket by taking a city bus or a pick up for about 5-10 minutes only.

Lopburi a city of monkey

PRA PRANG SAM YOD is a place where to see Lopburi monkey during the noon and the evening where as in the morning the monkeys prefer to stay at SAN PRA KAN

Lopburi is a city of monkey because in a city is a place call SAN PRA KAN and PRA PRANG SAM YOD is a home of monkeys that live in this town for a long time from a small number and up to the big number in the present an estimate of totally is more than 3000 right now and they became a part of Lopburi ,a city animal,a symbol of Lopburi city.Actually ,in the first local people anti this monkey because they are trouble maker such as steal food and attack the people for staff and food ,broke car or house ,broke cable TV. and etc. so local people have to tolerance with this wild monkey but, got used to this action of the monkey so far.Today there are a lot of tourist from different part of Thailand come to visit Lopburi dew to the name of monkey ,so if you come to Lopburi and didn't see any monkey it mean you didn't really get to Lopburi yet.Because of monkey so, more tourist come to the city and more income for economic too ,so it can be said that both people and monkey are help each other and get along with each other finally.
Do local Lopburi people hate monkey? I don't think so. In my point of view at the initial could be ,but not now because we have already accustomed with them and became a normal thing in Lopburi whereas the monkey also adapted themselves for living in a city and how to deal with people as well.
Tolerance or put up with ?
Normal things have done by the monkey like try to break into a car for food or grabbing even stealing some food from pass by people around the city which is cause people to upset or irritate with them.

The post in the city warn people about the monkey55 they could be nice normally ,but could be opposite sometimes 55

How about the worst thing like bite people or attack people ..this is unusually because normally they wont attack or bite people if they do not threaten or tease by people.I would say that by their nature they would fight or bite if something unusual happen with them like being hit or step on for instance.

On the street and catch a glass of juices from my son 55

On the building ,you would see them take a rest during the humid day on the high building

Inspecting a car parking along side of the street for something to eat or play 55

climbing on the telephone cable line sometime even cause them to cut or broke down 55

sitting on the phone cable

TV.antenna prevent the monkey to climb on the top and break them down ,however for today is better because now people turn to use a cable TV.which is run by the center of operate room and connect to the house by the cable TV. line.

Travelling in Lopburi

Walking around the city is good for your health ,however for going to the longer target taking some transportation could be better.I would supposed you started from Lopburi railroad station again then walk a short distance about 100 meters to SAN PRA KAN ,and a bit walk over by the east north for 50 meter ,cross the road and you will be at the bus stop which is you can take a city bus to SRA KEAW Circle and next to the city hall and King NARAI statue and then along the main route of Lopburi up to the big 3 supermarket store in Lopburi called BIG C,MACRO and LOTUS


The city bus which is depart from city every 20 minutes to SRA KEAW Circle and King NARAI Circle and to Big C supermarket store as well. The ticket is 5-10 baht each

Another way to see around the city and nearby is taking a tricycle or SAMLOR ,this is an old transportation which is still see in Lopburi by using physical strength to drive a wheel and earn a little bit of coin for living.In my point of view I think this is the way to help the green house effect by using this kind of transportation ,so let help our earth green and less pollution by taking the SAMLOR

Shopping in Lopburi

There are big 3 supermarkets store in Lopburi where the visitors can visit or buy something. 1st is Big C supermarket which is located on the main road from Lopburi city is about 6 Km. the visitor can take a bus or a pick up from the bus stop to Big C it take about 15 minutes to get t big C .I always see some foreigners visit big C for shopping ,buying some personal staff ,banking contact,having meal like KFC and Pizza and etc. The 2nd is LOTUS supermarket which is a little bit away from big C about 1 KM. on the same road ,but on the opposite site of the road.The 3rd is Macro supermarket which is about 500 meters west from Big C on the same road and the same side.
