Mueang Nakhon Pathom, Administrative district and Buddhist temple complex in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand

The Phra Pathom Chedi reaches 120.45 meters in height with a base circumference of 235.50 meters at the center of Nakhon Pathom.

The original structure dates from the 6th century during the Dvaravati period, while King Rama IV initiated major renovations in 1860.

The temple complex contains numerous Buddhist sculptures, ancient artifacts, and a museum displaying Dvaravati art from the region.

The stupa complex remains accessible throughout the year, with the annual Phra Pathommachedi Festival taking place each November.

King Rama VI's ashes rest within the base of the Sukhothai-era Phra Ruang Rochanarit Buddha image in the temple sanctuary.
