I visit Lop Buri in Central Thailand. Dating back more than 1000 years, known for her Khmer monuments & mischievous antics of the resident  monkey population.Today, though, I am in the centre of the old town & have come to see the remains of a great palace built between 1665 & 1677 by King Narai the Great. The King had chosen Lop Buri as his second capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom.......
He employed French architects & the palace is a mixture of Khmer & European styles...... Following his death in 1688, the palace was deserted.
