Narai Ratchaniwet Palace is located in the centre of Lop Buri town between Ratchadamnoen Road and Pratu Chai Road not far from the railway station.

There will be parades, cultural demonstrations, folk games of Thai children in the olden days, exhibitions from government officers, and OTOP booths selling local products. The highlights of the fair are Narai’s royal style dinner as well as light and sound presentations of the reign’s fascinating history.
