Information
Lop
Buri, formerly known as “ Lawo”, was one of the important
ancient towns of the Khmers from the10th-13th century. Many Khmer
ruins are found in and around this town. During the Ayutthaya period,
King Narai the Great established Lop Buri as the second capital
with the help of French architects. Most of the architecture of
that time reflects the mixture of Thai and Western styles.
Lop Buri is 153 kms. north of Bangkok. It covers an area of 6,199
square kilometers and is administratively divided into 11 districts
(Amphoes): Muang Lop Buri, Ban Mi, Chai Badan, Khok Charoen, Khok
Samrong, Phatthana Nikhom, Tha Luang, Tha Wung, Sa Bot, Lam Sonthi,
and Nong Muang.
