This out of the way wat sits nicely on a hill overlooking the main highway which bypasses the city and commands a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside. There are quite a few steps to the top and there is an interesting Swiss connection to this place. Off on the side down a track is a small Chinese temple too. Lam Narai does not see too many tourists but is a pleasant place with an active market and some other temples in the main street
A very rewarding place to check out for those on their up North or returning down to Bangkok; or possibly staying at the local resort, which we were. Good exercise climbing the steps, rewarding views of the Lopburi countryside, plus plenty of cheeky monkeys and also fronted by a new gigantic Buddha. A great way to spend an hour on your Thai vacation.
A slow process but every time you drive past there is some further improvement. There is also a small Chinese temple (altar) slightly nth of main hall at top of climb which can be accessed by motor bike (both)
Well construction seems to have finished and the product looks great especially from the road as you head north to Phetchabun. The stairs are slowly being covered over so you are partially sheltered as you head up the stairs. Unfortunately the number of Rhesus minkes seem to have increased and no doubt will be as as aggressive as those found near Saraburi, Khao Takiab etc. The Thais seem keen on feeding them which makes them somewhat habituated and they can get nasty if you don’t continue the practice. Fortunately the vendors selling peanuts and bananas haven’t found this temple yet.
