After the entrance, there's this area, where they sell souvenir/amulets, they have photos of the chedi throughout the years. Its amazing how the can build this in the ancient years with all the...

We spent a couple of nights in Nakhon Pathom and a our reason for staying was to visit the Chedi. It's the largest in the world and looks beautiful both at night when it's all lit up and with the sun bouncing off during the day. It dominates the town but in a good way, also makes finding your back... More

I've lived near the Chedi for the last few months and it is the highlight of the town. At night the top is adorned with lights and during the day it brightens up the neighborhood. There is a beautiful golden Buddha inside as well. I would recommend visiting the Chedi during the day for an hour or so as there... More

I recently moved to live about 20 minutes away from Nakhon Pathom so I have been able to spend in the city exploring. The chedi is beautiful, a lovely walk around, and great atmosphere. Not sure I would have made the two hour trip from Bangkok just for that but the city is lovely too so would be worth spending... More

Extremely interesting historical attraction, the largest Chedi in Thailand. It is over 500 years old which is a big deal for Australians coz European settlement there is only just over 200 years. This is a must see attraction
