    Pra Pathom Chedi temple
  • Tip Rating:
  • The temple where have the biggest and tallest chedi in Thailand. And some said it 's one of the oldest chedi in Thailand. Maybe it 's the one inside.This big chedi built in King Rama IV over an old one ,you can see the ruin inside.And the King ordered to housed the great relic.In the King Rama VI ,he came to reconstruction this temple and settled this temple as the temple of his reign.

    Thai people always come to sacred Pra Roung Rojjana which 's a standing Buddha image housed in a panel of North viharn.King Rama VI found this image just hands and feet and he ordered to cast all new image and housed at this temple.

    I know that inside the gallery ,they collected 77 Buddha images in 77 posts.That 's all posts in Thailand.

    The entrance to the market is on the way to Wat Rai Khing.
    A variety of local food is available.

  • view from the land market - Nakhon Pathom
    view from the land market
    by anne_vdns
    Send Photo to a Friend
    This is a must on your visit to Thailand.

    Vendors and shoppers are on boats. Everything is on sale here from fruits, to bags, to cloaths, to woodworks, to an extensive line of souvenirs.

    The boat ride costs a tourist 150 Bhat for 30 minutes where the tourists can enjoy a feel of 'shopping while floating', Vendors are a little persistent, forcing you to buy from them, so you need to practice some patience here. Because this is a prime tourist spot, items here are a over priced.

    There is a land market as well where more shops are located and where you can have a better view of the floating market.
