ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
Prang Khaek (Prang Khaek, also an Indian temple) is a very small Khmer temple in the center of the old town of Lopburi, which tourists usually miss because they take it simply for strange ruins. Nevertheless, it is an iconic historical place. The fact is that this is one of the oldest Khmer Hindu temples in the province of Lopburi, and indeed in the central part of the country.
This small complex of Khmer ruins consists of three prangs (typical Khmer towers in the form of corn cobs). It is not known exactly when it was built, but it is known for sure that it was restored by King Narai the Great in the XVII century, and in the XX century it was restored by modern methods. It can be viewed from the outside and walk around the territory of a small complex, admission is free. By the way, monkeys do not live in this temple.
