Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat (Bangkoksite Photos taken on April 29, 2000)

Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat is located north of the Lopburi railway station, not far from Phra Kan shrine. This temple was formerly a Khmer palace of worship. The Lopburi-style prang fronting the temple was built around 1157. The U-Thong-style cement Buddhas on the prangs were added at a later date. The temple was probably restored during the reign of King Narai the Great.
