San Phra Kan (Monkeys Temple) in Lopburi
San Phra Kan another Brahmanical shrine lying opposite Phra Prang Sam Yod in Lopburi consists of two sections. The old section dates back to the Khmer period and appear in the form of a laterite mound. The new section consist of a building constructed in 1951 contains a four-armed deity figure fixed with a Buddha's head which is now the project of worship. One of the most attractive sights for the tourist visiting San Phra Kan is the great number of tamed monkeys which feed themselves on food offered to the deity by worshippers.
