It's a beautiful place. tours the ruins of the palace. in the second part there is a tour of the museum. the place has a minibar.

It is well worth a visit to the museum and ruins of king Narai ancient palace. Peaceful and quiet. The park is well maintained and clean. The museum is air conditioned, well organized and quite educational. No parking inside the palace, though. So it’s a little problematic finding street parking near the place.

Great historical place, full of things to see and study about king Narai the Great and the Ayutthaya kingdom, about 500 years ago. There's a huge yard, calm and peaceful on the left hand side of the place and hundreds of years-old trees. The coffee shop by the entrance is good. There's a parking lot inside. open daily until 16:30., may close on Mondays.

This historic site is so amazing. The ruined place, shrines and temple are still in perfect shape with hand craved decorations. Beside the story is impact for Thai history.

Quite a nice place to walk around seeing historic ruins, with a coffee shop right by the entrance. No need to worry about Long-tailed Macaques (monkeys) stealing stuff inside this place as there is none.

A off the beaten path royal palace ruins with grounds to walk freely. With a superb museum in the new building on site. On par with bangkok museums. The grounds may take a hour at most the museum depends on how quick you read or are interested, could see in 3-4 hours or longer.

Very well worth the 30 baht entry for Thais. Parking available at the front of the museum for free. The Museum provides a lot of interesting history from the stone age and particularly concentrated during the height of lopburi influence (11th & 17th century). Lots of important artefacts that belong in much bigger museums. The palace grounds are not covered and can get very hot but still an interesting walk through the ruins. Ticket can be bought as combo with other lopburi attractions. Be wary of monkeys around on the roads outside during the late afternoons.

An old place worth visiting. The King Narai's Palace (Thai: พระนารายณ์ราชนิเวศน์; RTGS: Phra Narai Ratchaniwet) in Lopburi was built by King Narai the Great, the king who ruled Ayutthaya from 1656 to 1688. He ordered the palace built in 1666 in the same area as King Ramesuan's Palace. King Narai stayed here for about 8–9 months a year, except during the rainy season. He designated Lopburi as the second capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. The palace was a place for relaxation, hunting, administering the country's affairs, and welcoming official visitors. King Mongkut (Rama IV) of Rattanakosin ordered the restoration of King Narai's Palace. He built a new throne hall complex (Phiman Monkut Pavilion) for his stay in 1856. He also renamed the palace Phra Narai Rajanivet. During King Chulalongkorn's (Rama V) reign, Phiman Mongkut Pavilion, which had been King Mongkut's accommodations, was given to the government to use as the Lopburi City Hall. On October 11, 1924, Prince Damrong Rajanubhab and Prince Narisara Nuwattiwong opened the Chantarapisarn Pavilion in King Narai's palace as a museum, calling it the Lopburi Museum. Later, in 1961 the name of the museum was changed to Somdet Phra Narai National Museum. To date, the museum has exhibited more than 1,864 items of the collection of ancient artifacts in different pavilions and buildings of the palace.

Duel pricing in place for foreigners, but I don't have a problem with that. Surprisingly good inside, big area with plenty to explore. Enjoyed the museums and would definitely recommend if you're visiting Lopburi. Added bonus, unlike many areas of the city, I didn't see one Monkey.

Nice place to walk and discover about Thai history especially during King Narai era. Also, good for photo.

I also recommend tourists to visit this place to learn about the history of this province. This place is very peaceful and nice to take a break from walking. You can find a nice cafe for desserts and drinks around this place too.

The price for a foreigner is 150 baht. It has one of the best museums I've visited in Thailand. It takes you through all the historical eras clearly and in just the right amount of detail. The artifacts are impressive and relevant to the material. Nearly everything has been translated to English (and it's good English). I would recommend coming here first before visiting the other sites so you have some context about what you are seeing.

I loved it. Perfect day there. Quiet, serene and brimming with history. The only thing that we probably missed is the absence of an English speaking guide. It would have made the visit perfect. The museum within the premise is well maintained. Great idea to have a museum shop, though it could be better stocked.

Great place, most of the buildings are destroyed anyway but workers maintain the garden really well. It's 100 baht for foreigners.

King Narai's palace,though in ruins,is now being showcase in a commemoration for the great ayutthaya king from 10 feb 2023. I managed to visit it on the eve of the opening day in the night. The crowd was thin, as the set up is still in progress. It was a memorable night out for photographers as many were there to soak in the glamorous lights. The thin crowd is the last ingredient to capture the splendor of the exhibits. The street food vendors surrounding the ruins of the palace were not in full house as well and it was great to be able to walk through and sampling the real thai food and korean fòod in thai style. Many thais were dressed in their traditional costume for the occasion and these costumes were also on sale along the street next to the complex. I heard that the bedroom of King Narai will be open for viewing as well. There were bamboo mats at certain locations placed for visitors to walk along. It the dressing up of the ruins that has brought out it's glory

Very nice complex with a lot of history and green areas, Lopburi was a very interesting city and meeting point of a lot of cultures. This was much better than the monkey festival event na

The place full of history. Should has some history knowledge prior visit. Approximate time spent is 1 hour up.

Large and beautiful palace grounds. Lovely landscapes filled with green parks, tall trees (perhaps a century old), and ancient palace buildings. Some are completely intact, others are in partial ruins. It was nice to stroll through the palace and take many panoramic photos. The entrance fee cost 150 thb for foreign and 30 thb for local visitors. Kids can enter for free. We spent about 1.5 hours here.

I was so sad seeing the ancient city Pra Prang Sam Yod so dirty and bad smell. But finally at Narai Rachaniwes Palace is so stunning and in good condition with our history if Thailand. I love ancient cith and architect if old days a lot. Please cime and visit.

The museum there was honestly something different that the ones I visited in Europe, this one showed many temple findings. There were not many visitors to our luck. Nevertheless was it a nice trip, even though it's way to expensive for foreigners (120฿, instead of 30฿).

A wonderful place, with big trees and very green grass. Walking through points of internet on this green grass is excellent. A lot of interesting architectural details can be seen through out historic structures! Loved it. There are also couple museums on site and highly recommended to visit:) A lot of interesting items are inside . A must to visit place ! Ps Look for a Chill Cat ( last photo)
