Phra Prang Sam Yot

Also known as Wat Phra Prang Sam Yot

Phra Prang Sam Yot is a temple in Lopburi, Thailand, with three linked towers in the Khmer style. Built around the late 12th or early 13th century, probably as a Hindu shrine, it was later converted to Buddhist use. It is the symbol of Lopburi and known for the troops of monkeys that live around it.
