If you wander into the "Lower Market" area, which is the old city of Lopburi, you will find a small but powerful ancient site called "San Luk Son Shrine," also known as the "Original City Pillar." This place is very important in terms of legend because it is believed to be the spot where Phra Ram shot the Brahma arrow, which fell on the ground, causing the soil in this area to turn white (the origin of chalk). Visiting here is like stepping into the beginning of the history of Hanuman's city.
Inside the shrine is the "City Pillar Stone," or what the locals call "Phra Ram's Arrow," which is a stone that looks like an arrowhead submerged in water that is constantly supplied. It is said that the water that feeds the arrow never dries up, and there is an ancient belief that if the water dries up, there will be an omen for the city of Lopburi. The villagers in the Lower Market community and nearby areas have great respect and faith, often visiting to pay homage and ask for blessings for peace and success in life.
The atmosphere around San Luk Son Shrine is shady and simple. You can feel the way of life of the Lower Market community, which still preserves the classic atmosphere of old wooden shophouses very well. After paying homage and asking for blessings, it is recommended to take a walk and find delicious food in the Lower Market area. It's a short holiday trip that creates immense happiness and makes you fall in love with the charm of Lopburi in a deeper perspective.
