Lopburi is a much bigger town than most foreigners will ever see or realize, since most of the sights worth seeing are within the bounds of the Old City. This is fine with me, and with most visitors, who would likely rather avoid the multi-lane, highway commercial strips and just relax in Lopburi’s semi-small town atmosphere.
If you do want to get to the newer part of the city, you’re either going to need your own transportation or a will and passion for walking, as it’s about 5km from the Old City. So, for convenience’s sake, this guide will only focus on Old Lopburi.
