-
Si Satchanalai Centre for Study & Preservation of Sangkalok Kilns

Ko Kra
There’s good coral around Ko Kra, one of the little islands opposite Hat Sunrise, but careful with oncoming long-tails. Most resorts rent out mask and snorkel sets and fins for 50B each.

The Naranya Temple is a small add-on to Wat Pha Narai Maharat. Its not very conspicuous and is not often staffed. Youll need to ask someone to open the building with the sculptures.

Nong Khai Museum
This small museum in the former city hall has little more than old photographs, but theres enough English labelling to make it worth a few minutes of your time, and the price is right.
-
Prang Khaek
The oldest monument in Lopburi, this 11th-century trio of towers has Khmer-style brickwork and was possibly once a temple to the Hindu god Shiva. King Narai had it rebuild after it collapsed.
