King Narai's Palace

King Narai stayed here for about 8–9 months a year, except during the rainy season.

The palace was a place for relaxation, hunting, administering the country's affairs, and welcoming official visitors.

He built a new throne hall complex (Phiman Monkut Pavilion) for his stay in 1856.

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.

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.
