Recommended accommodations in Lopburi by mr.hotsia
If you travel to experience Lopburi, a city famous for its monkeys and truly a military town, finding a good place to stay for a night is quite important. I, mr.hotsia, have had the chance to visit Lopburi many times. This time, I want to share my experience choosing accommodation in this charming city in a way that’s more personal than typical articles.
Lopburi is a city with a blend of urban lifestyle and the nature of monkeys that are found in every corner. Finding accommodation means you must be prepared to deal with “special guests” — the monkeys who often sneak in to cause trouble. I have experienced this myself while staying at several hotels in the monkey zone, where thick monkey-proof wire mesh had to be installed. No matter the hotel, they had to be well protected; some even had to rewire electrical cables to prevent monkeys from climbing.
Guesthouse for backpackers and foreigners
For budget travelers or those who want to deeply experience the local atmosphere, I once recommended a small guesthouse in the heart of Lopburi city, popular among many foreign tourists. Its highlight is free Wi-Fi and a small coffee shop in front, perfect for those who want to work or surf the internet while relaxing. However, during my last visit, all rooms were fully booked, so I had to look for another place.
Net Hotel, a budget-friendly hotel in Lopburi
From that experience, I decided to stay atNet Hotela budget hotel located in the same area as the guesthouse I originally intended to stay at. The highlight here is free Wi-Fi exclusively for guests (no signal testing before booking). The signal is strong enough for checking emails or social media without interruption. I roughly remember the room price was about 450 baht per night, which is reasonable for the service and location.
The atmosphere of this hotel is not luxurious but clean and orderly. Monkey-proof wire mesh is well installed around the building because Lopburi really has many monkeys. Stepping out the hotel door, you might see some monkeys strolling on the street or climbing nearby trees. I recommend being careful with valuables and never leaving food in open areas.
Other interesting hotels in Lopburi
Besides Net Hotel, Lopburi has many other hotels and resorts popular among tourists, both Thai and foreign. Especially on well-known hotel booking websites like Agoda, where you can find good reviews and reasonable prices.

These hotels manage the monkey situation well, unlike some small accommodations that might face unexpected monkey encounters.

Summary
For those planning to visit Lopburi and looking for accommodation, I, mr.hotsia, recommend choosing a place that fits your lifestyle and budget. If you want to experience a backpacker vibe, a city guesthouse with a coffee shop and free Wi-Fi is an interesting option. But if you want convenience and quiet, Net Hotel is a good and affordable choice. Popular hotels like Benjatara Boutique Resort or Lopburi Inn are suitable for those seeking more comfort.
Don’t forget to prepare for the monkeys, the “special guests” of this city, as they will follow you around like an unavoidable travel companion.
