Phra Pathom Chedi

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!

Good temple and It wasn't too crowded in the temple.

There is parking lot as well.

No need to buy any ticket to enter the temple.

Another beautiful temple. Only managed to visit for a short while because of time constraint and had to head back to Bangkok. Would love to visit this place again.

An exceptional pagoda crafted with traditional materials, it stands as one of Thailand's largest.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A yearly festival will start soon but the market are already started.
The area of the festive are so big thus a lot of shops here. Not only food but are also the essential things, cloting and car wax.
Welcome all guest.

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

Visited Phra Pathom Chedi on Songkran holiday 2023. The temple was built in 1853 in the reign of King Rama IV.
You can park the cars around the temple.
Many food restaurants and fresh market around the temple

Visit for Buddhist temple and one of the grand Pagoda in South East Asia. Good food can be found around the temple as well, explore and enjoy your day.

The title of oldest and tallest Chedi in Thailand has been graciously bestowed on this temple. It's worth a visit to take in the views of this yellow-tiled marvel. Active markets surrounding the temple will also offer something to shop for and snack on. Note- several stairs and no clear wheelchair access indicated might make this temple less suitable for those who have mobility assistance needs.
Thumbs up all the way!!

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 💰

A historic place, the tallest pagoda in Thailand. Visit the main temple and walk around the compound. Big bells and some interesting statues. The place is on the way to Kanchanaburi by road. The pagoda is located at Nakhon Pathom.

Phra Pathom Chedi is one of the oldest and tallest Chedi in Thailand. It’s grand and magnificent. There are several prayers hall / altars around the Chedi, each one is unique. The main one have the large standing Buddha that are actiely worship by locals. The other smaller ones has beautiful Buddha statues as well as beautiful murals painting its walls.

Definitely worth a visit if you are around the area.

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.

The orange bell shape is huge and is omnipresent in the city, visible from far distance. Houses a tall Buddha statue once you climb several stairs.
We had a bit of cultural experience when first time we got the gold leaf and pasted on the statues, burned incense sticks and offered coins in small enclousure.
Large temple complex was very clean and beautiful with many small statues all around. Large parking space and outside many eating options.

This is an iconic landmark of Nakhon Pathom province. You shall visit and pray at this huge pagoda. There are many parking lots available. I'd recommend you to visit when you have a chance. Cheers!

The world's tallest chedi. Looks incredible. Entrance fee is only 60 baht. Highly recommended!!
