Prang Sam Yot, originally a Khmer Hindu shrine, has three prangs that used to represent Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva (the Hindu trinity). It was later converted to a Buddhist shrine. The old town of Lopburi dates back to the Dvaravati era (6th - 13th century). It was originally known as Lavo or Lavapura. After the foundation of Ayutthaya Kingdom in the fifteenth century, Lopburi was a stronghold of Ayutthaya's rulers. It later became a new royal capital during the reign of King Narai the Great of the Ayutthaya kingdom in the middle of the 17th century, The king stayed here for about eight months a year. Today, Lopburi is renowned for its Crab-Eating Macaques that live amid the Khmer temple ruins of the city.

Wat Phra Mahathat was built during the reign of Borommaracha I (Boromma Rachathirat I) or Khun Luang Pa Ngua (1370- 1388), who was the third king of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Ayutthaya (Ayudhya)) was a Siamese kingdom that existed from 1351 to 1767. Ayutthaya was friendly towards foreign traders, including the Chinese, Vietnamese (Annamese), Indians, Japanese and Persians, and later the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and French, permitting them to set up villages outside the city walls. In the sixteenth century, it was described by foreign traders as one of the biggest and wealthiest cities in the East. The court of King Narai (1656-1688) had strong links with that of King Louis XIV of France, whose ambassadors compared the city in size and wealth to Paris.

The Marble Mountains comprise five limestone and marble hills near Da Nang in central Vietnam. Each mountain is named after one of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The mountains feature a network of tunnels, caves, grottoes, and Buddhist sanctuaries that attract both religious pilgrims and casual tourists. Over the centuries, monks and artisans have hand-carved intricate statues, pagodas, and altars from the naturally occurring marble within the formations. The Marble Mountains stand as a testament to the region's rich cultural and spiritual history. Da Nang, Vietnam.
