The three-spired prang, or Phra Prang Sam Yot, in Lopburi province has recently gained popularity due to its appearance in the hit drama "Bupphesanniwat." This has led to a resurgence of interest in Thailand's historical sites among tourists.

The Phra Prang Sam Yot is a significant historical landmark in Lopburi. It is a Khmer-style castle built of laterite and stucco. The structure was constructed during the reign of King Jayavarman VII and restored during the reign of King Narai. It consists of three towers connected by walkways.

The three-spired prang's antechamber is a brick-and-mortar structure, reflecting the Western architectural influences prevalent during the reign of King Narai the Great.

The only entrance and exit for visitors is located within the temple grounds. All other areas are fenced off to prevent monkeys from entering. It is also worth noting that the Buddha statues inside the three-spired prang are missing their heads, which were lost before the Fine Arts Department took over the care of this ancient site.

For those interested in visiting, the attraction is open from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, except on Mondays and Tuesdays. Admission fees are 10 baht for Thai citizens and 50 baht for foreigners.
