What our travellers think of their stay

Situated in the central region of Thailand, the city of Lopburi is a nice stopping place for anyone travelling between Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

My suggestion

I only recommend Lopburi to those travellers who are not pressed for time and who wish to stop off somewhere during their journey from the north to the south of Thailand.

A small town best known for the large number of monkeys in its center, both attractive and scary! The temples remind you that the town was once an important cultural center.

My suggestion

Don't get too close to the monkeys as they can transmit diseases, and don't let anything hang out of your bag or have loose items on you as they will steal them.

My suggestion

Depending on the time you have available, there isn't really much point staying the night there. It's easy to get there and back by bus or on the train, and just a few hours in the city is enough.

Experience Thailand without riding elephants!

Elephant rides have become a major concern in many locations, but are still offered by a handful of so-called "sanctuaries" with the proposition to get close to the exotic and majestic animal. Elephant rides are offered on every street corner and Westerners have little knowledge about the cruel methods to succeed in training these enormous animals.

Bangkok, a continental megalopolis

Come and completely immerse yourself in the gigantic megalopolis which is Bangkok.

Khao Yai or the paradise of species

To set the scene for you, imagine 2,188 km² covered by 80% forest and populated with more than 800 animal species roaming completely free. Add streams, waterfalls and a mountain range amongst 2,000 plant species. Classify it all as a UNESCO world heritage site and you have the Khao Yai national park.
