Name: Phra Pathom chedi
Date: 3rd century BC, restored 1850’s
Location: Center of Nakhon Pathom town
One of the most important places for Buddhists in Thailand can be found in Nakhon Pathom, one of the oldest cities in Thailand.
The Phra Pathom chedi, which means “Holy chedi of the beginning” is regarded the oldest Buddhist structure in Thailand. The very impressive chedi (stupa) with its orange roof visible from far away is with its 120 meters height the largest Buddhist chedi in the world.
The history of the chedi goes back all the way to around the 3rd century BC, when Buddhism was introduced to Thailand. The Indian emperor Ashoka decided then to send out monks over many parts of Asia, including Thailand, to spread Buddhism.
The chedi was modeled after the Great Stupa of Sanchi in Central India, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and that was built in the 3rd century BC by order of emperor Ashoka. Monks from India brought over relics from the Buddha, that were enshrined in the Phra Pathom chedi.
In those days Nakhon Pathom was located on the Gulf of Thailand. Since then because of sedimentation from the Chao Phraya river the land progressed more towards the South and Nakhon Pathom was no longer a coastal city.
When the local river also dried up, the city was abandoned and eventually overgrown by jungle, with its inhabitants moving to the nearby town Nakhon Chai Si. Only during the first half of the 19th century the city became inhabited again.
Restoration of the chedi by King Mongkut
King Mongkut, who before he became King, spent many years as a monk travelling the country, visited the chedi a number of times. The chedi at that time was in a very bad state of repair and overgrown by jungle.
After Mongkut ascended the throne in 1851 he ordered the restoration of the Phra Pathom chedi. The original much smaller stupa was to be covered by a much larger chedi to be newly build. After 17 years of construction, during the reign of Mongkut’s successor King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) the chedi was completed. The original much smaller stupa still exists today, covered by the large 19th century structure.
When the chedi was finished, the population of nearby Nakhon Chai Si was ordered to return to the town of Nakhon Pathom. Surrounding the stupa that has a base of 233 meters is a courtyard with four viharns that each contain Buddha images in different postures.
The viharn at the Northern end contains a large gilt standing Buddha image named Phra Ruang Rodjanarith. The image displays the Abhaya mudra, the fear dispelling gesture.
The Buddha image was restored by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI). In 1909, when he was Crown Prince, he discovered the statue badly damaged in the ground in Si Satchanalai. Only the head, hands and feet were in good condition. The statue was cast in Bangkok and installed in the viharn in 1915. The ashes of King Rama VI are installed in the base of the statue.
Another viharn contains a large Reclining Buddha image. Walking around the chedi through the courtyard you will find a number of bells that you can ring for good luck, as well as a large number of Buddha images in various postures.
The Wat Phra Pathom Chedi Museum and the National Museum of Phra Pathom Chedi have an interesting display of artifacts found during excavations in Nakhon Pathom, including stone carvings and Buddhist relics, some of which dating back as far as the Dvaravati era. Next to the chedi is a large market selling Buddhist amulets. Here you will also find many food stalls where you can try all kinds of original Thai food.
How to get to the Phra Pathom chedi
The chedi is located in the center of Nakhon Pathom, a little over one kilometer South East of the train station. Multiple daily train services from Bangkok’s Hualamphong station will get you there in around 1½ hours.
A bus from Bangkok’s Southern bus terminal in Bangkok Noi will take around one hour. A van from Victory Monument in downtown Bangkok can drop you off directly at the chedi.
The quickest way to get to the chedi from Bangkok is by private taxi. Most hotels can book one for you. If you book the taxi for the day, you can also visit nearby Sanam Chandra Palace or see the Damnoen Saduak floating market. Agree with the driver on the price and places to stop before setting off.
Admission & opening hours
The temple complex is open daily from 7 am until 8 pm. Admission is 40 Thai Baht. The Wat Phra Pathom Chedi Museum opens daily from 9 am until 4.30 pm except Mondays and Tuesdays. The National Museum of Phra Pathom Chedi opens daily from 9 am until 4 pm except Mondays and Tuesdays and national holidays. Admission is 60 Thai Baht.
Pathumwan District, Lumphini Park, Bangkok, Thailand. ( 16 )
Visiting this park for the first time in October 2013 it was surprising to see many tents pitched in the park, these belonged to a rally of the so called People's Army against Thaksin Regime. General Preecha Iamsuphan, core member of the People's Army rang a bell to start Sunday's political rally in Lumphini Park. National police chief Adul Saengsingkaew said there were about 4,000 demonstrators in the park . This community had shops, stalls, hairdressers, in fact a small village had been set up near to the park entrance.
Lumphini Park is a 142 acre park in Bangkok, Thailand. The park offers rare open public space, trees and playgrounds in the Thai capital and contains an artificial lake where visitors can rent a variety of boats. The boats look tiring, they are pedal boats I prefer boats with some form of power. The lake is huge and makes a picturesque spot for a picnic. Paths around the park totalling about 2.5 km in length are a popular area for evening joggers and cyclist. Officially, cycling is only permitted during the day between the times of 10 am to 3 pm. There is a smoking ban throughout the park, and dogs are prohibited. Many cyclist use this park to full advantage it seems. So watch out crossing the roads.
Having visited this park in October, I found it peaceful, restful but boring. The gardens were not what I expected. It just needs some tender loving care and more plants. Lumphini Park was created in the 1920's by King Rama VI on royal property. A statue of the king stands at the south western entrance to the park.
The park was named after Lumbini, the birthplace of the Lord Buddha in Nepal, Lumbini, is one of the fourteen zones of Nepal and is home to Lumbini site, the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, who later became the historical Buddha and founder of the Buddhist philosophy. A statue of king Rama V1 stands at the south western entrance to the park. at the time of its creation it stood on the outskirts of the city. Today it lies in the heart of the main business district and is in the Lumphini sub district, on the north side of Rama IV Road, between Ratchadamri Road and Witthayu Road.It has Bangkok's first public library and dance hall. During wintertime, the Palm Garden of Lumphini Park becomes the site for the annual Concert in the Park festival featuring classical music by the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra and other bands.
BTS Sky Train Silom Line Sala Daeng Station is here and the MRT ( Bangkok ) Lumphini Station and Si Lom Station are also nearby. It is the first public park of Bangkok, a heritage of King Rama VI given to his people. King Rama VI started to organize an exhibition of local products and natural resources in the winter of 1925. The construction included a huge central lake, with island, roads and buildings. Unfortunately, this exhibition was cancelled due to the untimely death of King Rama VI. Later, the project was revived in the reign of King Rama VII. The area of 14.40 hectares in the south of the park was rented to be an amusement park called Vanaruengrom, of which the rental fee was used for development of the rest area to be public park. The Saladaeng Field, a crown property of which a part was provided for the construction of Chulalongkorn University, was selected. King Rama VI also kindly donated his money for the site preparation.
Giving this land to the government, King Rama VII stated that the land could be used as the public park only. However, during the World War II the park became the Japanese soldiers camp. After the war in 1952 - 1954, it was a venue for the celebration of the constitution and the Miss Siam The Royal Monument of King Rama VI. This was built in 1942 to commemorate the King who kindly gave this park to his people. The King Rama VI Monument stands at the gate to the Lumphini Park, overlooking the busy Saladaeng junction. Corrado Feroci, an Italian sculptor completed the monument with the help of four Thai artists on 7 June 1941. It was a fitting tribute that Feroci designed this monument, as it was King Rama VI who requested the Italian government for an artist to help teach and promote art in Thailand. Feroci answered the call of duty in 1923. The monument is a statue of King Rama VI standing in his ceremonial uniform with a sword, on a high pedestal surrounded by fountains. An open tiled area where public ceremonies are held surrounds the monument.

Maruekatayawan (Mrigadayavan) Palace is one of the oldest and most attractive royal palaces in Thailand. The Maruekatayawan Palace was constructed by His Majesty King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) in 1923 as a place where he could fully relax in great comfort amid a naturally serene atmosphere.
It was designed by an Italian architect with lots of verandas, latticework and covered boardwalks using golden teak from the demolished Hat Chao Samran Palace. The architectural design of the raised-floor wooden palace, with its three sections facing the sea, was drafted by the Monarch himself. Following the completion of the interior decoration in 1924, the King gave it his first visit and stay. His last visit to this seaside palace was made only a few months before his demise in 1925.
This palace is noted for three two story wooden pavilions facing the sea, and is referred to as the palace of love and hope. Series of halls are linked together throughout the palace. Residential halls of the royal consort members are located on the right wing. The central group of halls which is the royal residence consists of royal sitting and relaxing rooms, accommodations for close royal servants called Phisan Sakhon Hall, and the reading room.
In addition, Samoson Sewakamat Hall, a two-storey open pavilion, is used as a meeting place, and sometimes as a theater. Two important dramas were shown on this stage in 1941: Phra Ruang and Wiwah Phra Samut. Chao Phraya Ramrakhop ordered a statue of King Vajiravudh, as a royal dedication, to be enshrined in the hall of Marukhathaiyawan Palace. An annual rite is conducted on November 25, the anniversary of King Vajiravudh's death.
This is one of the many attractive places in Thailand that is a must to visit. This teakwood treasure (known for convenience as The Wooden Palace) stands on Hua Hin beachfront and, now restored. It is proudly billed as The Longest Golden Teak Palace in the World. This palace is only a few minutes by car from Hua Hin.

A statue of king Rama V1 stands at the south western entrance to the park. at the time of its creation it stood on the outskirts of the city. Today it lies in the heart of the main business district and is in the Lumphini sub district, on the north side of Rama IV Road, between Ratchadamri Road and Witthayu Road.It has Bangkok's first public library and dance hall. During wintertime, the Palm Garden of Lumphini Park becomes the site for the annual Concert in the Park festival featuring classical music by the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra and other bands.
BTS Sky Train Silom Line Sala Daeng Station is here and the MRT ( Bangkok ) Lumphini Station and Si Lom Station are also nearby. It is the first public park of Bangkok, a heritage of King Rama VI given to his people. King Rama VI started to organize an exhibition of local products and natural resources in the winter of 1925. The construction included a huge central lake, with island, roads and buildings. Unfortunately, this exhibition was cancelled due to the untimely death of King Rama VI. Later, the project was revived in the reign of King Rama VII. The area of 14.40 hectares in the south of the park was rented to be an amusement park called Vanaruengrom, of which the rental fee was used for development of the rest area to be public park. The Saladaeng Field, a crown property of which a part was provided for the construction of Chulalongkorn University, was selected. King Rama VI also kindly donated his money for the site preparation.
Giving this land to the government, King Rama VII stated that the land could be used as the public park only. However, during the World War II the park became the Japanese soldiers camp. After the war in 1952 - 1954, it was a venue for the celebration of the constitution and the Miss Siam The Royal Monument of King Rama VI. This was built in 1942 to commemorate the King who kindly gave this park to his people. The King Rama VI Monument stands at the gate to the Lumphini Park, overlooking the busy Saladaeng junction. Corrado Feroci, an Italian sculptor completed the monument with the help of four Thai artists on 7 June 1941. It was a fitting tribute that Feroci designed this monument, as it was King Rama VI who requested the Italian government for an artist to help teach and promote art in Thailand. Feroci answered the call of duty in 1923. The monument is a statue of King Rama VI standing in his ceremonial uniform with a sword, on a high pedestal surrounded by fountains. An open tiled area where public ceremonies are held surrounds the monument.
