Built in 1666, King Narai's Palace was the home of Ayutthya ruler King Narai the Great. Lopburi, where the palace stands, was the second capital of the Ayutthya Kingdom. When the King died in 1688 both palace and capital were abandoned. It was closing time when friends and I arrived but staff allowed us a stroll on the outer grounds where most of the ruins are.

Wonderful to see such an historic place. In the days of glory this would have been the place to be.

Okay when I become King of the World I've just found my new digs. LOL. Just beautiful. I'd live to see inside.
