Phra Pathom Chedi is a towering Buddhist pagoda in Thailand that was built in the 4th century. It boasts a massive reclining Buddha and a central square, making it an important religious site for locals and visitors alike. The stupa's height is impressive, with its spire reaching up to 120.45 meters and its base measuring 235.50 meters around.
One of Thailand holy temple, most famous at Nakhon pratom province. The temple is quite large. You can walk around for an hour or two, depends on how detailed you are. As a buddhist this place remind me of Buddha's dhamma (His teaching) and As a person, I appreciate the southeast asian art in the temple. Oh and the climate is quite hot, bring a hat or an umbrella maybe? Many love and respect for Phra pathom chedi.

Temple bouddhiste 🛕 millénaire en forme de dôme dirigé vers le ciel dont la flèche, nous emmène à 120 mètres de hauteur !!! la base de sa circonférence est occupée par une succession de petites alcôves, dédiées exclusivement aux offrandes faites aux diverses représentations de bouddha et à toutes autres divinités......
Il y a des offrandes 🌼 à réaliser chaque jour de la semaine..!!
Les fidèles participent ainsi, à l'entretien des lieux par leurs dons 🪙 et, contribuent au bon fonctionnement de la vie communautaire des moines !!
Personne n' accède à l'intérieur : ni les visiteurs, ni les moines qui se contentent de tourner sur un chemin de ronde 🏮en priant autour du dôme !!
⛩️ Sur le côté, on peut approcher une très jolie représentation de "bouddha couché dorée "de 17 mètres de long .... si.... l'on se déchausse !!!.. visite culturelle très sympa à faire.... 💯

This temple is located very close to Nakhon Pathom Railway station. It is considered as one of the most sacred Buddhist temples of Thailand . It is located in the Nakhon Pathom province. Tourist can go there by bus, van or by train from Bangkok railway station. It is a very large temple situated on a huge land area. The pagoda has cannonical hape with a dome. It may take 2 hours to walk around. It has stairs to climb up and there is a golden Buddha statue for worship.

We took a tour here from Bangkok and it was a very special site. It was a beautiful stupa (which are buildings mimicking where the relics of Buddha were buried and where monk and nun relics are now often buried) in fact it is the tallest in the world at 395 foot and it is in perfect condition, wonderfully maintained. It dominates the skyline. There are many shrines around the stupa to Buddha and where donations and wishes can be made. It costs foreigners 60 Baht each to visit.

พระปฐมเจดีย์ is a stupa in Thailand. Phra Pathommachedi is the tallest stupa in Thailand. The top of its spire reaches 120.45 meters, with the base circumference of 235.50 meters.
The name Phra Pathommachedi means the first holy stupa, given by king Mongkut. Originally the stupa named Phra Thom Chedi means the big stupa in ancient Khmer language or the royal stupa in Northern Thai language. One of the common misunderstandings about this stupa is that Phra Pathommachedi is the oldest and the first stupa in Suvarnabhumi, an ancient name of Southeast Asia. (Info taken from Wikipedia)

Great spot and i was surprised to learn at night it becomes a HUGE bustling night market with so much delicious juicy foods! 🤤 and the foods are all at a great price also so it’s not like the city prices you find outside 💰

Breathtakingly beautiful Wat. The ambiance was so peaceful and I’d recommend this to anyone visiting Thailand. It’s free to walk around and there wasn’t many people. You can buy small carvings to help support the monks as well.

If you in Bangkok, don't skip to visit this place. It's truly beautiful and must visit. Especially in the evening. You can come here from Bangkok by numerous minivans. They depart outside the BTS stations of Bang Wa, Bang Ke Mall

First time to this extremely old Buddhist temple. The area is rather big. I love the mural on the wall but photography is forbidden in the mail hall.
It's well kept given its age.
HM Wong — Google review
A great historical zone. Also not that crowded but quite hot. There are some photo ops spot with fewer people. I recommend to bring sunblock with you when exploring the place, as it can get quite hot especially in the afternoon. You can also bring umbrella and shades to be sure.

This is said to be the tallest Buddhist monument in the world and the tallest chedi in Thailand. We visited on a Friday and it was not as crowded as when we visited Shwedagon chedi in Yangon. But Phra Pathom Chedi is immaculately preserved and beautiful indeed. Walking around the compound, we felt a sense of peace and tranquility. The grounds are also very clean, including the public washrooms. We will be back to visit the adjacent museum and also the night market. Not to be missed!

Really cool place to visit. This is supposedly the tallest temple/pagoda in Thailand.
There is not a ton of things to do here but its very much so worth it to go and walk around and check it out.
The view at sunset is beautiful!
There is a night market nearby with tons of food options as well so it's great to head there after checking out the temple.

Very beautiful historical temple which was worth visiting and there were many zones to learn and take photo, the toilets and parking areas are located in many places around and inside the temple. But the way to go up for disability people is none and hard to join.
Sanam Chandra Palace is a well-preserved and beautiful palace complex that boasts of unique architecture and picturesque grounds with sprawling lawns, gardens, and ponds. The campus of a university is also located within the premises. There is ample parking space available for visitors, and no entry fee is charged to enter the palace. It's an ideal place for people of all ages to relax while taking a walk or jog in this clean and well-maintained park.

A Palace built by King Rama 6, set in beautiful gardens. It’s good to go there walk around the gardens and look at the various palaces and lakes. There is also a statue of Ganesh set in the middle of the grounds which is popular. The grounds are only open for a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the evening, so you need to plan your visit.
When we were there the Wat was under maintenance and closed to visitors.

Sanam Chandra Palace is a palace complex built by Vajiravudh in Nakhon Pathom province, Thailand, 56 km west of Bangkok. The palace complex is about a kilometer away from the Phra Pathommachedi. The complex consists of five buildings and a Ganesh shrine. Currently closed for repairs. It will be completed around the end of August 2024 but able to walk around the periphery

This place is CLOSED for renovation. I went there on 23/09/2023. They turn everyone around at the entrance, including locals who apparently like to exercise there. Don't waste your time coming here for the time being.
PS: the land around the palace is pretty nice and green, though. You still can see a few old, historic-looking houses, but the palace grounds are closed.

Was a hot afternoon when we visited this place. Proper attire is recommended when entering this place. As a friend of mine was wearing a faded with torn/slit fashioned jean was not allowed to enter until properly covered. So bear in mind of proper respectful clothing. Nothing much to see, maybe a place for learning its history, if one is interested. To cool down we stopped by near the entrance for a refreshing coconut drink & got the opportunity to see how a skilful person extract the whole coconut flesh out. Please see video included.

Sanam Chandra Palace’s built by King Rama VI. It has been reopen for the public in 2020, but during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021Q1-2. So they open only the outdoor area for 2 periods of time; morning & evening with the appropriate dress code ; long pants& skirt ladies, but for men shorts must be cover your knees, top with sleeves. You will enjoy the greenery & several style of architectures both authentic Thai & Europe inspired.

I have been there since 2016 but just have chance to review (the palace is close now). It’ was nice walking around there, greenery with historical. We study history and enjoy to know it.
Good memory for me.
Was the only group there and therefore able to enjoy the peace the quiet all for ourselves! Although we didn't see anybody around, the temple is well maintained and clean.

(Translated by Google) It's a temple that's worth promoting. It's very beautiful, Lanna style, very quiet, didn't see anyone on the day we went. I went to sweep the floor, walked around, took pictures, and fed the fish, but didn't see anyone. Unfortunately, many people still don't know even though there are reviews. I came to follow the reviews. I recommend coming to admire the beauty. and pray for the relics of the Lord Buddha at the white pagoda For good fortune

Wat Phra Prathon Chedi Worawihan in Nakhon Pathom is a serene and spiritual temple complex that houses the iconic Bell, attracting both locals and visitors for prayers. The highlight of this visit is the mighty pagoda, which stands as the tallest in Thailand at over 120 meters. The temple offers a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere for prayer and reflection, with monks studying diligently on the premises.
Great place for Buddhist worship . You also can see monks study hard here. A place you feel your inner peace and power.

It's a beautiful and majestic temple, quiet and peaceful. It costs 60 baht per entry. Once you enter, you can pray and take in the tranquility. There is nothing much to do here other than to pray and take photos. You cannot enter the giant structure though, you can only walk around it.
