Thailand, Lopburi - Phra Prang Sam Yot Khmer Temple

Lop Buri, one of Thailand's oldest cities, served as a significant capital and cultural hub. It was initially part of the Khmer Empire and later became a key city in the Ayutthaya Kingdom. The Phra Prang Sam Yot, a notable monument in Lop Buri, reflects the city's historical and religious transformations. Originally built as a Buddhist sanctuary under King Jayavarman VII, it was later converted into a Hindu shrine and then back to a Buddhist monument during King Narai's reign. The site showcases the blend of cultural and religious influences over centuries.
