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.
