Phra Prang Sam Yod, the `Three Tower Temple`, is a 13th century Mahayana Buddhist temple in Lopburi then Lavo, Thailand, built by the powerful Khmer Emperor Jayavarman VII. Three major Buddhist deities were worshiped at the temple: the Buddha in the central tower, the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara in the south tower, and Prajnaparamita the goddess of wisdom in the north tower. The temple is also famous as a tourist destination for the hundreds of Crab-eating macaques that now call it home.
