Phra Pathommachedi, Buddhist stupa in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand

The orange-colored stupa rises 120 meters into the sky with a base diameter of 95 meters, making it the largest stupa in Thailand.

King Rama IV initiated the construction of this monumental stupa in 1853 on the site of an ancient Buddhist monument from the Dvaravati period.

The stupa holds religious relics and serves as a primary center for Buddhist ceremonies, attracting thousands of worshippers during major festivals.

Visitors can access the stupa grounds daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages at the information center.

The stupa features four directional halls at cardinal points, each containing a 12-meter-tall golden Buddha statue in different meditation positions.
