Narai Palace, Old City, Lopburi

#VisitAncientCities 🚙 This trip, we will visit the historical city #OldLopBuri, the National Museum of Somdet Phra Narai "Phra Narai Ratchaniwet" or "Wang Narai"... Phra Narai Ratchaniwet is an ancient palace from the Ayutthaya period that is important and has historical value. The architecture reflects the highest glory of Lopburi during the reign of Somdet Phra Narai the Great. I really want to see the city at that time. How beautiful it was ✨️ Walking there gave me goosebumps. I'm really into history. 🌳To be honest, this place is soooooo big. I went in at 11:30 and walked around every spot. By 16:30, it was closed. 🤣 You should allow extra time if you want to walk around and see everything. On the day I went, it was a weekday. It was like I booked it as a family. 555+ There were no people at all. 🏰 Phra Narai Ratchaniwet Located in Tha Hin Subdistrict, Mueang Lopburi District, Lopburi Province, the people of Lopburi call it "Wang Narai".
